Of family, contemplation, self esteem, and coffee

[timsimms]

Certain things in this life can sway me like no other. A certain touch along my spinal column, the right words at the right time, and sweet tea all fall in that weird-but-true purgatory. This past weekend, I found myself surrounded by a family of strangers - familiar only in name and aged appearance, but strangers nonetheless in every other way.

Somehow I knew you'd saw that. It's like I have ESPN or something.

Your entries of late have been extremely well written, and insightful.....

thank you :) I've had the introspection bug lately.

"I tend to place too much confidence in others while not placing enough in myself (entirely too often). I sometimes forget that although I'd go to the ends of the earth for people, they won't always choose to do the same for me - and that's okay."

This lesson took me four years to learn. I am still trying to make it okay but it is getting better. I totally understand.

It's been a weird few well...months. And enlightening.

Lovely post. That last paragraph? You nailed it.

Thanks :) It seemed a fitting end to both the evening and the entry.
