A Different Way Now.
The most challenging part of this whole experience is grasping every day without someone you love so deeply. A simple walk for coffee easily becomes a little more important when you remember some people didn't get to do that today. You start to cherish even the small things. The mundane means more.
Healing isn't linear. Thank goodness for that. This new chapter isn't supposed to be smooth. Much like my childhood, it's jagged and harsh. I tried so hard to run away from those feelings. Now I'm forced to feel them. So I will.
Thank God for that.

there's something bittersweet about august in new york.
the city is still buzzing with summer energy, but you can feel the seasons beginning to shift. the sunsets come a little earlier, the evenings are just a little softer, and everyone seems determined to squeeze every last drop out of summer.
personally? i kind of love it.
august is the month for saying yes to rooftop dinners, lingering in bookstores a little longer, catching an outdoor movie, or taking the ferry somewhere just because you can.
