“For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space, / Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near, / I know very well I could not.” —Walt Whitman

I’ve been busy at work, but I’m absolutely loving my career choice (for the most part). On the upside, I got to a questioning! On the flipside, I got to have a male client make me feel uncomfortable and disrespected for the first time (yay sexism). Take it in stride—the cure for an uneasy heart is good friends.

i am not brave but sometimes i am made brave by my friends which is to say i am made brave by love

30 trips around the sun and im still surprised when the days get shorter after a long summer like the nights already feel much cooler now and soon it'll be dark at 4 in the afternoon and i'll go wow man look how dark it is and it's only 4 and come spring ill realize that wow you can actually tell the days are getting longer and warmer isnt that crazy and in the summer i'll be lying in bed at 11 thinking woah it's still not dark out and then in september ill say to myself phew that sure was a long summer you can already tell the days are getting shorter and ill remember this post and maybe ill go look for it and reblog it and dear reader, i for one hope that we both live to see it

there's good in this world, and I found a little bit of it in you
