I can love
I can love Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh has its faults. The air is never really "fresh" and the people aren't always personable. But there is something delightful about it. I went to the Strip District for the first time the other day abd it was so much fun! I got some really great deals on produce and ate lunch at a cute Italian diner called "Buon Giorno." It was a fantastic day. I then went to the Market District and got some seeds because I am going to plant a garden in my back yard!!! :) I can't wait. I have decided that if 50% of the plants grow, then I will be happy. I was in my back yard with gardening gloves and a spoon the other day, weeding and digging through the dirt...and it was just awesome. I read a book from the library about gardening in the city and it made me feel like this is not only possible but highly probable. I hope I'm not disappointed. I at least want some sprouts.
I can love someone.
There is someone out there who loves me. He truly appreciates me for who I am. He cares about me more than I have ever been cared about. There is nothing like it. He makes me want to be a better person while simultaneously making me feel like I am the most awesome person on the planet. He understands me and I understand him. His name is Justin. I love him. He is super. He is the best person I have ever met. There's no one like him.
He has a girl friend.
I can love myself.
I finally feel like I am actively becoming who I need/want to be. I am accepting that I am not and will never be perfect. But I am working toward being a better person and that makes me feel good. It's easier to live with myself when I know that I am trying.
I can love life.
Life is fickle. And yet life is ever consistant. When life takes away, it gives. When one thing in life burns out, another thing ignites. When it seems like it's the bitter end, a new beginning sprouts through the ground. It's all a cycle. And that's wonderful. Because no matter how dark it gets, I know that the sun will always come up in the morning. Life is great.
