I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back.

Nothings going to stop me but divine intervention.

The last two days have been interesting. This whole week has been kind of insane, to be honest. Really full. But in strange ways.

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.

I have laughed until my sides hurt...good laughs. Good people. There is something incredible to be said about surrounding yourself with people who bring out the good inside of you more than they bring out the bad. The people that are okay with the goofy and the tired and even the whiny, and can turn it into positive.

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror and bending over backwards just to try and see it clearer.

We'll call them "feel good people". Because this is a feel good day.

There's no need to complicate.

My feel good people have honestly changed me. They've helped me scrape off some of those sharp, serious edges that I can kind of survive within from time to time. Life doesn't have to be serious. I don't have to be so serious all the time. I've learned how to laugh at myself...and I'm learning how to let things roll off of my back (which is a feat, let me tell you. I'm so quick to get my feelings hurt.) It's quite refreshing, especially in stressful situations, to be able to laugh it out in company.

Our time is short.

So yeah, thanks to two of my favorite feel good people--Leigh and Kim. [Neither of whom read this, I am...pretty dang sure.] But they let me hug copiers and lay in the floor and speak without thinking and refresh me in a place that could easily be life draining. I think that's blog worthy.

So this week I've laughed with my laugh buddies. And then I've cried all alone for everything and everyone I could think to cry for. And that's been just as liberating as the laughter, honestly.

This is our fate, I'm yours.

I've needed this week. I'm so very grateful for it. I feel refreshed, and rather inspired. I want to write. And open up some incredible books that I haven't looked at in much too long.

I won't hesitate no more.

The sky is yours.
