"together, we are strong"
It was in a bronze permanent marker scribbled half hazardly in a downward slant. The lettering got larger as it went along against the greyish black speckled wall. The handwriting had the fond memory of a child's. It through me off guard as I had been mostly focused on getting to the toilet as quickly as possible. Now, I am one to believe in signs and fate and all that other rubbish. But everything about the day had somehow been completely tied together with this mysterious bathroom message. It was so out of place in the midst of ridiculous graffiti. Yet, it was still completely powerful in its own surprising way. Even as the day progressed, this message floated around with me as a haunting reminder. We all have our own issues in our own singular lives. One with loneliness, one with financial troubles, and we all have troubles with the opposite sex. But when we were together it was like it all floated away and we were happy. We laughed, and made absurd comments throughout the day. I saw the toilet testament and it clicked but it did not register consciously till later. I am driving home hours later that night. I am in the car all by myself, the weather is muggy in that kind of odd enjoyable way and Led Zeppelin was playing on the radio. It hit me. The bathroom bulletin was for me. Or for us. We are friends for a reason. I already was aware but this just reinforced how important it is for us to continue to stay together. We are there for each other for all sorts of reasons, even if it is just for pure company. Because, together, we are strong.
