On most days I can converse with a squirrel. The patience of someone who’s been ignored most in life. My brain clicks to hyperdrive and my mouth is just trying to keep up. It’s a flow. One I can easily suck others into. That’s what joy will do to you. Infectious.

I am starting to believe in my ambition and years of getting it wrong. When you’ve spent most of life doing something a thousand times, you get good at spotting the real ones. Advice from a few goes a long way when they have weight behind their words. Filled with heartfelt worry or concern; you are seen and I thank you. I am humbled to oblige.

My advice is to take others in stride. That which is personal does not always need to be experienced by those in proximity. Keeping closer what only you can gather or ponder might also be your saving grace. As I teeter on each day between healing and growth – I find a path back to a memory of when I needed a me then too. So again, thank you.

I can’t say I’ve done much in life on purpose but I’d like to count you. Relationships are hard and life loves to get in the way. Don’t get me started on object permanence. I don’t always have the time outside my own four walls to appreciate the changes. I am proud to admit I’m still healing from my own childhood ignorance.
