breathe in and breathe out

Everybody has problems. Some people just hide their crap better than others. But people aren’t going to look at you and run away. They’re going to look at you and think that they can talk to you, and that you’ll understand, and that you’re brave, and that you’re strong. And you are. You’re brave and strong.

There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re also free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing.
