I'm crying now, as I sit on this desk. I'm not okay and... as I read the closing paragraph of an email from a friend, I started to cry.
Did I ever tell you, Marj? That I only learned to love the sky because you always oogled at it? :) That was one of your best gifts ever. :) So whenever you have the chance, Marj-o-Fluff, take a peek. Though clouds seem to move ever so slowly, they still move. Today, all you might see is smog and all you seem to want to do is to pour it all out. But the winds will eventually take you somewhere, somewhere brighter and somewhere cooler. Insufferable summers and bitter winters never last forever.
I cried not because of anything absent in my life. I'm afraid I can never be that girl who had once, without meaning to, brought a person's attention to the sky.
I love this friend and her wise words are a balm to my heart. Sometimes, all you need is a reminder like this that bitter winters never last forever. One step in front of the other.
I cried not because of anything absent in my life. The people in my life are wonderful. Despite this, I'm afraid I can never be that girl who had once, without meaning to, brought a person's attention to the sky.
