Because you need to.

This is for Oxie, whether she wants it or not.

I Would Say

by Jillian Gogel

Well, I would say,

and I would say it loud,

I would be proud,

I would say that there's no hurry,

and really no need to worry.

I'd say we should rest

because that'd be best,

And I'd want you to know

that I'm not gonna go;

(is that a curse or blessing?

I hope not a wound that needs dressing.)

But always I would pray

that maybe soon someday

we would sit and discuss

that which we must.

Is it not a shame

for either one to take the blame,

that we must play this game,

or if we lose our aim?

I'd know life would be fine

with someone so divine,

And I'd hope to prove it true

that we would make it through.

I would say to you,

darling, you're stuck to me like glue.

"I'm here with my confession

Got nothing to hide no more

I don't know where to start

But to show you the shape of my heart"

- Backstreet Boys, Shape of My Heart

A brand new year.

Well, me oh my, it certainly has been a while.

Once I settle back into things, I shall organize my thoughts a bit better on this thing.
But for now, I really wanted to share some little quip I wrote. I thought about it, and I realized I really did learn this and that it really is an important thing to keep with you as you move through life's obstacles. So, here.

"I learned that all the good things in life, and everything that makes it worth living, are hard to come by. Sometimes, the hardest part of that journey is allowing yourself to appreciate what already surrounds you and trusting that nature will take its course. This year, after learning by example from the past, I hope to take that leap and allow myself to live in the flow of the world, trusting that my greatest desire, love, will find me when the time is right."

I think that just about sums things up.
Have a wonderful evening :D
