IT'S LIKE. i don't know. it never really stuck how important it is that we can just wear jeans and that's fine. wear button-ups tucked into jeans or slacks and sneakers without anyone batting an eyelash. that kind of freedom. no one's ever given us any crap for not shaving. that kind of freedom.
In that one moment I knew you really did understand how I felt in life. Choking on anger, feeling so powerless, unable to protect myself or those I loved most, yet fighting back again and again, unwilling to give up. I didn’t have the words to tell you this then. I just said, “It’ll be OK, it’ll be alright.”
Strong to my enemies, tender to those I loved and respected. That’s what I wanted to be. Soon I would have to put these qualities to the test. But for the moment, I was happy.
