Random Musings

I’ve wanted to write something since the event ended but I haven’t been able to create coherent thoughts. So I think I’ll do a list, as an old friend taught me to do when the words aren’t flowing.

• Community is good.
• A community of old friends is even better.
• People can be mean.
• Losing friends can hurt as much as an adult as it did as a child.
• The world feels big and small and confusing and sad.
• I’m so glad I have my pretty little corner in it.
• There is grace in being okay with less.
• And in appreciating the gems instead of missing the ones you don’t have.
• Medication is a blessing.
• Reminiscing can be really heartbreakingly lovely.
• Being settled is not the same as settling.
• I am blindingly lucky.
• Getting older has an awful lot of perks involving understanding.
• And an awful lot of grey hair.
• Self loathing is hard to rid oneself of.
• But it’s worth trying.

I hope you’re well. I hope you can see the blue sky beyond the clouds. I hope you are happy and can take a deep breath and laugh with someone who accepts you for you, in all your youness. Feel free to share your own list with me…
