The moments where I laugh so hard my stomach hurts with friends that don’t know how much it means to me.
Stop signs, red lights and the longest goodbyes where time stops just long enough that you understand that these moments are worth everything and more important than anything.
Motown music and love songs that make me feel like I deserve someone that makes me feel the same way these sounds do.
Friendships that have lasted longer than silence can deteriorate, where reminiscing feels more like recalling memories from yesterday than all the years gone by.
Memories of the moments with ones who are now gone, the ones that shaped my heart to love unconditionally
Sunlight feeling nostalgically comforting on the loneliest mornings, enough to know that any day can be the best day of my life.
Family that chose me, embraced me and welcomed me in when I had none.
The wisdom to know better regardless of circumstance and the strength to impart that on those that follow me.
Letting go of the things that held me down and made me feel undeserving of levity and love.
Someone who listens, someone who cares and someone who wants to light a fire in my heart big enough to change the world.
Another day to try.
