forgot to mention...
Did I mention that I'm happy? I'm happy. I'm sitting here wearing a fluffy cream and gold skirt and listening to my favorite playlist. The sun is streaming in my window. I just talked to my brother. Beautiful art surrounds me. My room is clean. I am unpacked (turns out I won't be leaving until April 8th. Actually, it's kinda a relief... I get to settle for a bit).
And best of all? My heart is full. Granted it could be fuller, but for right now, it's as good as it gets. And I'm grateful. The most wonderful part is that my heart is full without anyone. I am not thinking of my friends or family. I am simply existing and being happy.
New Orleans made me realize that real friends are hard to find. And that I easily get excited and enthralled with new people, and they are the same way with me as well. But you know what? It's ok to have both. I realized that no matter where I go in the world, I'll be happy, even if I go alone. Which I often do.
I feel free. Hear me? This woman is free.
I live life intensely, not rambuctiously. And I love it. I don't regret a moment. I don't know how many people can say that.
"But listen to me; for one moment, quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you."
