Will

Whatever someone you become, and wherever you are in the world, I’m sending you love. You’re my friend to the end.

the year of letting go, of understanding loss. grace. of the word ‘no’ and also being able to say ‘you are not kind’. the year of humanity/humility. when the whole world couldn’t get out of bed. everyone i’ve met this year, says the same thing ‘you are so easy to be around, how do you do that?’. the year i broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. the year i learnt small talk. and how to smile at strangers. the year i understood that i am my best when i reach out and ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’. the year of sugar, everywhere. softness. sweetness. honey honey. the year of being alone, and learning how much i like it. the year of hugging people i don’t know, because i want to know them. the year i made peace and love, right here.” ”

Have you ever heard of the story of the one who is present and absent at the same time? I am in the middle of the crowd and my heart is somewhere else

I never expected anything from anyone. Which was not the same thing as not wanting, ever, to be surprised.
