its so strange
how you find comfort in the places you least expect it.
ive never met her.
we've only talked a handful of times before recently.
and our only real connection initially was mason.
i have to admit when she offered me her advice at first i didnt expect to hear anything helpful.
many people offer "advice".
or their input.
opinions.
most of it isnt helpful.
most all of it makes me feel even worse than i did at the start.
thats why i dont talk to people.
i dont want to hear their opinions.
but its different talking to her.
her words seem to have this odd wisdom far beyond her years.
they calm my mind.
remove that giant weight ive felt on my chest so often lately.
sooth my troubled emotions.
i never once thought id find comfort in her words.
or in anyones words for that matter.
as strange as it sounds it feels naturally seeking her guidance.
who would have ever thought that the smartest things anyone has said to me all month would come from someone who hardly knows me.
strange to say but
maxine has helped me keep my sanity these recent weeks.
