out of the blue...

it can be such a great comfort to hear from someone long gone... at a time when you're wondering who you are versus who you know you were, it's encouraging to be reminded of the things that you once actually liked about yourself... to see yourself through the eyes of a person who only knows you as you were when you were better... it seems as though i've lost some of myself in the past few years, and it's disheartening that there's an entire era of people who only know me in this light... and i'm ever so grateful for their unconditional love, but i owe all of us better.. and i'm working on it...
