not waiting

my dad shared with me today a lesson he said has taken his whole life to learn.

don't wait around.

he's right. and it seems really simple. but it's something i do too often. it's completely draining. and hearing him say that reminded me of how important it is not to do it. don't wait for life to happen. don't wait for people to be who you need them to be. don't wait for the answers to come to you. get on with life in the meantime. then waiting isn't waiting, it's experiencing.

so i stayed in the darkness with you

the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out, you left me in the dark.

no dawn, no day, i'm always in this twilight.

in the shadow of your heart.

happy easter?

change is in the air, alright.

dark and twisty

sometimes you don't want it to go away. but that's when you know it really has to.

first, you should know

everything is the way it is because everything was the way it was.
