bean in orbit
the other night
i got into a rather serious conversation
about Shaun's health
because he had proclaimed that he had
to start getting healthier.
in an encouraging way I talked about being/getting healthy.
he paused and internalized all that was said
and offered that in exchanged for helping me learn guitar
I help him get healthy.
somewhere between now and then
I thought about how that is the truth
and how in some sense facing the truth will be painful (in a sense) for him
-quitting cigarettes, mainly.
but he'll be a better person because of it.
now i just gotta think about that for my own case;
that i've been trying to find another truth for this situation
but there's only one, and it is painful, which is why i keep
on putting it off.
but i'll be a better person when i do
embrace the truth, even if it does
break my brain. build again
