christmas

i wrote something like eight thousand words.

i read and reread it and realized i had to let it go. 

this year has been so incredibly difficult for so many. it's looped around to the point that i have to worry about those who feel they can't vent and release the struggles in their lives because it all seems relatively unimportant. 

please let me just reiterate that that's not how life works. your feelings are just as valid as anyone's. and hopefully you get as lucky as i have and discover you've had the network you needed to help you keep going all along.

this holiday season feels very different in so many ways, but the essence is the same. love those dear to you and make sure they know. that's all you can do. whether we're thick as thieves or just tiny cosmic blips in each others lives--i'm grateful. 

sending all the love i've got.
