This morning I watched the clock change, from 11:59 p.m. to glorious 12:00 a.m.
&& I whispered into the darkness.."this is the first of many first steps forward".
And for the first time I wept for all of the yesterdays I will miss, yet keep close to my heart always.
And I wept out of happiness for all the tomorrows in front of me.
For these two things, I feel so blessed.
I can feel the gates opening;
I can see windows no longer cracked,
but hung ajar.
Wide and inviting.
::HELLO FUTURE!:: I scream!
I want to say good bye to the place I began the long, and daunting task of finding myself.
I want to say good bye to the place I met the love of my life, my perfect other, my Joshua.
I want to say good bye to the place where nearly all of my most beautiful, cherished friendships were concieved.
I want to say good bye to the place where I grew up emotionally, where I learned, where I lived, where I loved.
Good bye, fortress of memories to my youth.
