NOT EVERYTHING TURNED OUT THE WAY I PLANNED, so i learned not to make plans. my days aren’t always perfect. but from where i was to where i am, from what i knew to how wise i’ve become, that’s something that can’t be ignored. i don’t know if i can bravely say “i wouldn’t change a thing” (because the truth is, a little less pain wouldn’t hurt).in the midst of all the crazy there is some growth there. there is peace somewhere. good morning!

okay, the (tumblr) triggers are working again, yay! :)

YES THEY ARE BECAUSE EVERYONE’S FINALLY HOME, SAFE HAPPY AND HEALTHY (RECOVERING) BUT YAY!!!! :D;D:D

OH MY GOSH YES! the kind that you feel all the way to your bones, because the person asking listens to you think, the kind that forgives you for losing your words (something you can’t do, even for yourself because you are so used to the world wanting instant answers) and patiently waits for you to find them again.  not the canned “i’m fine” and then leaves you hanging just like that. the kind of question that begins a conversation, a friendship, a bond. not the kind of “how are you?” that is required, that is polite, just because it is what is expected. not the kind that fills the awkward silences but makes the quiet comfortable. not the kind that is contrived but the kind that is real, it ovewhelms you in the best ways possible.
