Still the Same

 Nothing can change now, but my altitude. The feelings will all still be there, but the emotions will ebb and flow. Cast out and recede. Yet I don’t know to heal it. I don’t know how to experience them without hurting someone. Concealing sounds like the only choice. Sharing care only space be created; but I live on limited land.

So I have to figure out how to be the same, yet flourish.

Learning To Like Things

 I realized the other day how important it is to appreciate what I have. The came about realizing the important of needs. They aren't trite. They are necessary. They aren't excessive. They allow for comfort.  I don't know what comfort is.  It doesn't come easy. It's always temporary and short; fleeting and short lived; ugly and destructive.
