it's 4:49 am. i should be sleeping, but the thunder outside is insisting i pry my eyes open. my dog is terrified of thunder. he's a rescue animal, so we don't know why. all i know is that every storm i hold him as he cries and shakes like a leaf. everyone has their storm, as solid as they may seem. even the strongest of people have moments that make them vulnerable. when someone opens up to you, you can either help them with their storm or use it against them. i always comfort them. people ruin things you really used to love, don't they? not everyone has the best intentions. they don't want to see you succeed. and it's sad that out of all the emotions they could have, spite and jealousy is what they choose to feel. i'm rambling now, sorry. being awake at 4:49 am means my mind is always in a deep place. it's hard to not think about the pain in the world. it's 5:05 am now. i think i'm going to go to sleep.
