When I met you, I knew I had nothing left to be sad about. It wasn't that I knew right away that I needed you, but I knew right away upon meeting you that I wanted something to change, and I wanted you to be apart of whatever this was. And that's how it went. I keep saying the same things, because I'm still trying to find the words to say that I love that you are mine.

How things change so quickly... how all of the best things in my life have always come so quick, taken me by surprise. How from something that was always comes something that is, and how currently that something that is has taught me to just let go, and feel something so beautifully love.

Something from this newness is a gratitude for that which has always and ever been wonderful, being my two sisters, and my two best girly friends. Something about how tender my heart feels right now, in the matters of everything, from the color of the sky to the sound of music, is how I know that it is, really open. And as much as it scares me, it's the most magnificent feeling I could imagine.

Ya diggg?

Sometimes, the best thing to do, is just say yes.

Sometimes, just writing it out is prayer.

The last few days/weeks/months, feeling a return of people presenting these really strong emotions/expressions of self to me and it's something I love, exactly what I live for. But I worry I'm not currently equipped to deal with these feelings, unsure of myself a little. Trying to find that foundation outside of me once again. Have I mentioned that I may have buried myself alive? Point is, I love this. I'm just not sure I know how to do it, right now.

I hope that I do. And I want you to know that I'm doing the best I can to find the moments for everyone. It just gets to be so very much sometimes... and some days, I just have these moments of desperation for solitude.

Broken skin is only one aspect of a wound.

And more on that later.

“Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.”
― Ram Dass

A heart wounded by the belief that what we had was a good love and the awakening that maybe it was not even love, but a deep found intrigue fueled by the both of us, in love with everything but one another, everything except the very thing we thought we were fighting for. I'm not saying it wasn't, but I'm saying I'm not sure what it was anymore. When one mixes tenses, nobody can focus. We lose sight of what we've seen or will see right now. You see? All I know is that the first time I met him, I knew I needed to find a way to be okay. And the second time I met him, I felt the shift in the universe, and I heard God whisper to me that my life was already changed. What I feel now is the ability to breathe, and it's hard to cope with this. Happiness is very disorienting for a small percent of the population, including the alligators and all of us middle children. Mostly, I consider that considering your process won't necessarily help me if I can't forgive you. What I'm learning is that the more you let go without forgiving yourself, the more guilty you feel when the happiness swells. I'm not talking about you, though, obviously; I'm talking about myself.

So, let me start over.

I have been practicing happiness lately, learning just now that I am a being deserving of love, and I'm daily seeking forgiveness as well as looking into the heart of something to seek forgiveness in the name of those I've felt have hurt me. I've also let so much of the things I've been holding onto simply go. It's not always my fault if someone cannot release their pain, even if it is because of me.

Okay. I did it again. How about this?

I know that I am doing the right thing because I couldn't be doing anything else. I want you to know that I am doing just fine. And that I'm happy. And that sometimes it takes something, or someone, new and beautiful to help you wake up and see that you, too, are a beautiful, radiant being. And that there's nobody in the entire history of possible infinities that is a better you than the one you are. And that there's nothing left over or reachable in the backwoods of who you were that is going to help you feel better now--- just let it go, let it be, and let someone let you matter. Maybe.

I think that's what I meant.

All love,
