Look into the Keyhole
Got to talk to one of my old friends.One of my best old friends.
It felt so good to get past the surface level stuff and really hear how she was doing.
It also almost brought me to tears to find out but
I was able to encourage and affirm her.
To remind her that she’s loved.
There was a time when I dreaded carrying a conversation with her because it always felt
so empty and hollow even though there were jokes being made all the time.
I miss those talks under the moon
and the jokes we’d throw back and forth.
I seriously miss you.
It feels like years since we’ve really talked.
It has been.
But I still care about you as if the absence never occurred.
I love you so much and
wish I could be there with you through this.
Be strong and hold on.
Things will get better.
Life is too short to have regrets.
What’s done is in the past and I need to keep looking forward and enjoying the present. I can occasionally look back to see how far I’ve come, but I will not allow myself to stand still and think about “what if”s and “maybe”s.
Life is too amazing to waste time worrying and musing on things that don’t matter anymore.
Keep your heads up even if there are tears streaming down your face because the sunrise will come.
Things can always get better.
