life has its ups and downs.
sometimes it lulls, sometimes it seems like time is running ahead of you.
right now is a slow period. nowhere to go, not much to do, just time spent with the fam and jer.
but i'm thankful to have these times.
sometimes it's nice to slow down
and breathe and breathe and breathe.

to smell the cold winter air, feel the crispness prickling on the skin.
winter is a time to regroup
to recenter
to reevaluate
to forget about diets, rekindle friendships, have some hot cocoa in front of a fire.

life is slowing down,
but it's not a bad thing
because summer will sneak up on me like it always does.
and the years pass more quickly each year.

so i'll breathe, take in the moment
forget about those things that might worry me
because isn't it more important to smile?

i'm going out for a walk.
it's freezing, and i want to feel something.
these past few days have been numbing.

i want to say hello to the stars.
i haven't gazed at them, i mean really gazed, for quite some time.

(i know you need alone time
i'm sorry if you're feeling smothered or sort of... restless in this house
know that i love you
and want you to be happy)
