To the definition of unconditional love …

We don’t believe in regular office hours, and we don’t categorize time as intrusive or okay. We don’t put away leftovers until everyones come through, and we don’t let the door lock too early. We don’t always understand, and we don’t ever see the other side of the story. We don’t tone down the obscurities, and we don’t expect a call in return. We are family because it’s doesn’t make sense how we’re related, and we are family because we would never survive apart.

To the things you don’t always want to do…

Traditions can be tiresome, but there’s a reason we keep them.

To the friend you lost too soon…

In the most unsuspecting of circumstances, all you have is gentle acceptance and subtle smiles in the sky. with a smirk of good luck, you met your forever angel whose spirit lives on in the words that always apply: a sattled-up sunset and a friend to take you home.

To the childhood vacation spot…

Fish still get released; Bruises still get healed; Friends still change their names; Burns still get tan; Happy hour still makes the perfect tipsy; S’mores still melt by fire; Laughs still make peace; and blood still makes family. Yeah, it looks the same, and yeah, it feels the same too- like back in time when are young all over again. But, you are not the same, dancing memories with reality and coming up with this really fun tango. each new year brings the same old air.

To the pain you get used to…

As it passes the smoke, the dirt, the distant viewing; the silence, the shield, the unconscious ability to not, the soul is left completely hooked on the numbness, and at peace with the uncomfortable.
