That’s what they’ll say of me, this ones a fighter.
“I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.”
Relationships are both wonderful and tricky. The wonderful traits of a person are all sparkly and shiny, and we are attracted to that. But the real work is learning to find good in the gnarly aspects. It is a real art. Believing in the other person’s goodness and integrity enough to be content with working with the challenging parts. The sparkly parts are easy to love. Our job is to make the love bigger than an argument or an intense disagreement. You see, this is being authentic, vulnerable and true. And much more than a fairytale type romance. The real and honest and courageous decision is to love the warts and all. That is the true miracle.

Doing things i`ve never done,
Seeing things i`ve never seen,
Feeling things i`ve never felt.
Gratitude and appreciation
Self-love and acceptance
Heaven knows that you’re with me now
Heaven knows that you’re here
I feel your breath all around me now
And all the pain just disappears
It goes away, it goes away
And it only hurts, when you cry
I’m only sad when there’s tears in your eyes
I can’t lie and say I’m fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
You carry too much on your shoulders
I can’t wait till you let me down
Cause the only thing we’re getting is older
This time never comes back around
It just goes away, it goes away
And it only hurts, when you cry
I’m only sad when there’s tears in your eyes
I can’t lie and say I’m fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
When you cry
Heaven knows that you’re with me now
And I’ll do my best to hold on
Cause nothing is worth all this fighting now
And I won’t give up till it’s gone
Make it go away, go away
Make it go away, go away
Cause it only hurts, when you cry
I’m only sad when there’s tears in your eyes
I can’t lie and say I’m fine
But it only hurts, when you cry

I made a new friend this year, he’s just a bit older and is one of the most brave and strong grown-ups I know. Everyday I learn something new about him and about myself. The best thing he’s allowed me to cherish thus far is that you’re never to old for a good swing on the porch with the sun out listening to some traditional country music.
I could get stuck on the wonders of the world for the rest of my life. I try not to put too much effort into some wonders because that never gets me anywhere… somethings in this world will remain wonders and there is nothing I can do about.
I wonder how some of the most undeserving people are surrounded by beautiful friends and family who would be there for them any second, money, happiness and just plentiful amounts of things that so many people don’t have,and yet they have it and don’t care to appreciate it, taking it for granted every single day.
I wonder how they can’t see it… or if they can see it, what reassures their heart that its okay.
I know there is so much more to it, but this is how I see this problem as it is on the surface.
