Glorybox

Sick, cystic, menstruating, and sunburnt.

I enjoy being a girl.

Emotions this day

Joy and loved and supported and understood and frustrated and peaceful and grateful and glad.  And overwhelmed but calm about it and engaged and proud and in between it all very tired.  And sometimes irritated by the noise and also love and loved and grateful again and still and always.

New

I'm back. And I plan to remain back.

The smell of empty warm beer glasses reminds me of mistakes in college.

Adele

This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands on, on my body and told me
Mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love everlasting you and me
Mmm
That was what you told me

I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free-ee

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

I was too strong you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising)
Mmm
Baby I'm still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down)
Mmm
Mmm there's only one way down

It's night but something in here smells like sun on cotton.

A thousand hidden viburnum bushes
breathe their fragrance across the highway
and I am grateful.

Confident

Life is amazing in that we can not know what we are or where we stood until we have moved.  

I've begun to perceive my own confidence and strength in new ways in the last year.  It's a more tender, honest way of holding my own self, cupped in my own outstretched hands.  I'm both more and less than I once thought.  And I love myself more.  A love that is more real that the brazen swagger I used to hide behind so much of the time.

Lawn mowers ate the grass around our neighborhood today.  Changes are in the air.

I really don't care for cake.
