A long time ago, when I laughed and asked you not to tell anyone I'd been such a girl and cried over something, you looked and me and told me,
"If you wish, I will refrain from pointing out that you are, indeed, human."
I didn't understand what you were saying then. Like I've said before, I'm a slow learner... I have to learn everything twice.
I learned it for the second time tonight.
I must acknowledge that I am, indeed, human. I have a heart. I have emotions. Those emotions aren't always shiny.
I'm not always perfect.
I've done some stupid things. I've messed up.
But you know what? That's okay. Because I am human, I can take my mistakes, my failures, and use them as fuel to be better.
No one ever learned anything by succeeding.
I've learned a lot these past few months.
And I'm going to use what I've learned.
To save you.
another kind of war,
a voice in the dark,
thinking out loud,
memories
