"Twelve Steps to Finding It" by Andrea Uptmor →
This is for YOU, and YOU, and YOU, and all of YOU. For everyone. For all hungry souls and fattened hearts. For the Stretched, for the Growing, for the Tested. For the Foolish, for the Wise, for the Happy. For the Uncertain. For those in need of another deep breath. With love. -Nikki

My friend has a cool face.
the value of "sleeping on it"
I realized that some decisions should never be made when one is tired. Or cranky. Or depressed. There are just some decisions that must be made in the light of hope and opportunity.
Yes, you may mock me.
I’m smitten. SMITTEN. Smitten. Smitten. SMITTEN. And I so envy Catinca Untaru. *sigh*

Daddy: What if I marry someone your age?
Nikki: Well.... if you really, really, really love her...
Daddy: No, regardless of how I feel, how would you feel?
Nikki: Mmm... How would you feel if I married someone YOUR age?
Daddy: Well. I own a gun.

Struck a few random chords and found myself playing out the current state of my… self. Deranged, in a seemingly downward progression. And painful to play, because of all the bars. But it ends with one of the easiest and most comforting chords I am aware of.

Oooh..
Amazing things
1. Last night I had to get up to get a THIRD blanket because of the cold. And my fan wasn’t even turned on.

sunlight shivering on our sleeves.
The rediscovered laugh triumphantly,
and eternity begs to begin again.

I’ve been staring at my keyboard for quite some time now, wondering how I can say, eloquently, that I have changed, and grown up a considerable amount since…
