How the heart can beat so, so strong but never in a straight line.
That a promise is not a contract but breaking either has consequence.
That ‘consequence‘ sounds negative and rarely is.
How time heals…and that healing itself is change, you are not the same person carrying a scar with a story.
Giving up and letting go are two sides of the same coin that you clench in your fist, or carry in your pocket.  
That, if there is strength in numbers, it’s never as much as a single soul with intense purpose.
To grow in a love that lifts itself and still keeps you steady,
not one that makes you want to apologize for the fall.
What it takes to understand a person that cares enough about you
to hide how little they care about you.
How to compromise with anyone but yourself
because common ground is shared,
but you are always wherever you stand.
That indifferent is the worst thing to be,
because anything real has an end point,
and nothing, can go on forever.
How to get out of your head enough to
remember you have a body.
To speak truth, despite.
That OK
is where everyone usually ends up,
even if we **** up entirely along the way.
