Thankful

Good to hear you breathe... Good to hear you sleep... I thank my lucky stars for the patience I've learned over the years... The ability to stay calm and collected when you are off balance...

I'm alone tonight. I've been alone for many nights now. I close my eyes and dream vividly, lost in complex emotions and irrational fears. I wake up from nightmares... Nightmares that I welcome because they are fake, they end... No matter how gruesome they get, they end, and my waking life seems paradisical in comparison.

I find in my solitude the ability to feel connected to more people. In my stress over money I realize that I am truly grateful for things that exist specifically outside the realm of money... I lose shame and greedy drive... I cut down on the cost of my life and am much happier because of it. I make plans for the future to solidify my newfound definitions of happiness.

And when I listen to you breathe deeply in your sleep, I can only hope you decide to come along for the ride. I know it will be difficult at times, but maybe that will make it all the more worthwhile.
