perspective

my mother has multiple sclerosis. my dad has hepatitis c. my first love shot himself in the head. my boyfriends parents are both dead. they have been since he was 17.

it's easy to feel bitter with this kind of scenery.

but then there come the cloud breaks. the high fives and the prequels. the never-meant-tos fade away and in their place come the it's-like-you-were-always-theres.

i ate a huge m&m cookie for lunch. nothing first or after.

sometimes that is just what i have to do.
