This innocence

[aeris9919]

    As of recent, I have been overcome with a strange feeling of content.  I'm, at times, happy with life, and at times sad.  I've been accepted into nursing school, I'm working a job that I'm not only good at, but I mildly enjoy, and I'm taking comfort in knowing that my friends are only a few weeks from returning to concord.  But I can't help but

Cat, my dear, I cannot tell you how glad I am to know that girl - the pirate with the tendency to laugh at what one shouldn't, to sing (and not as though nobody's listening - rather, as though she doesn't *care* who's listening) and jump around and dance at the World's End trailer.

I do know, however, that this point in life is a difficult time for girls like that. People don't know what to do with the costumes, the dry humor, the easily-triggered excitement - but don't worry, love. Plain and simple, you'll get tired of having to hide it. It wears on you, chipping away at that one place where it's tucked away until the walls finally come crumbling down (simply because you don't feel like holding them up anymore, damnit!). And then it all comes back, audience be damned. =) And with it comes this awesome sense of "HEY. ASSHOLE. If you don't like it, GO AWAY. I'm not changing for you or anybody else ._." Really is a cool feeling, too.

As for love... well, that old cliche "Love is patient, love is kind..." blah blah blah (isn't that from the Bible? Or something?) does have a bit of truth to it, though perhaps not spoken in the way it was originally intended to do so. Love can wait. If there is anything I have ever learned in this life, it's that. So take care, you... I'll be back in Concord soon =)
