Cornbread

Picture this: freshly baked cornbread, almond herbal tea, green carpet strewn with papers, clothes, ideas, loss, hope, denial, redemption, happiness, peace and serenity. Sometimes I feel like I'm the luckiest person alive and I don't particularly know why. I'm not rich or particularly stunning in any way, I don't have everything a person could wish for or want in a lifetime, I'm not enlightened or free of pain and suffering, I'm totally exhausted all the time. But I just feel like of all the things I could be doing, of all the people I could be, I'm really happy that I ended up here, doing this and being me. And I'm really thankful to all of you for being a part of this journey with me.

I've lost so many people in this lifetime, both literally and figuratively, we all have, such is life, but I just feel like there is a piece of each and every one of you in every single thing I do, and without you I could never have ended up like this. Cheesy- yes. True- also yes.

I love you guys. Thank you for sharing this existence with me. Hold my hand- smile, it's all gonna be okay.
