Yin Yang State Of My Mind

I’m still learning to love the parts of me that no one claps for.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind and emotions.

You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.

Hot coffee and cold winter mornings are two of the best soul mates who ever did find each other.

Once, in Middle School, I went into the city with my dad on a cultural excursion. Across the street from wherever we were–a restaurant or theater–a woman jumped out of her seat at an outdoor café. She screamed and ran, uninhibited and unencumbered despite very high heels, toward a man wearing a suit. She leapt into his arms and wrapped her legs around him. He said nothing, but he held her like that for a long time. I had never seen anything like it before.
