a practice of alacrity

Better to ask twice than to lose your way once.  
laughter. smiles. honesty. secrets. butterflies. reality. music. words. friendship.

and love. always love.

Peek into my mind.
See who I am.
Share my secrets.

    You are an enigma that consistently confounds and surrounds me. You are the one person who I can’t get out of my head but refuse to stop thinking about. I feel haunted by you, yet search you out when your presence disappears. I don’t want to ask why you may matter so much to me because the answer thrills and terrifies me.

    I miss writing. All the fantastic stories and characters in my head that I wanted to make come alive have dulled and have become cheap imitations and snatched, ragged memories.

    I just need something to thrill me, to inspire me.

    Just as the scattered puzzle pieces of my life came together and I caught a glimpse of the beautiful portrait that life had painted, a cruel wind of change once more disrupted everything. I am left with nothing but chaos and nostalgia for the beautiful moment of perfection that never lasts as long as I’d like.

Dear Scarlet, I didn’t plan on being a mother when I was 19. If my life were a story, that’s not a chapter I would have willingly written. I didn’t pick this, but I would never ever change it. It’s not a part of my story I would even consider editing. I have absolutely no idea who I would be without you or what I would be doing. I was selfish before we met, I was a bratty kid. You turned me into a woman. You taught me about patience and gratitude. Your father and I probably would have never made an honest effort to stay together if you weren’t in the picture, and I’m so glad that we did. I had a lot of amazing years with him, and that’s on you. I learned so much from our marriage. His decision to join the Air Force for you moved us to Oklahoma where we met some of the most genuine and quality people I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t express how excited I am that they’re a part of your life as well. We wouldn’t know them if it weren’t for you. You’ve been there with me through everything, I’ve known you my entire adult life. We grow together. We learn together. We face the ugly and experience the amazing parts of life together. You’re my constant. My only constant. You’re a part of me, like a baby kangaroo in my pouch. I’ll protect you. I’ll keep you company. I’ll comfort you. I don’t know where I’d be without you, Scarlet, but I’m so so happy not to be there. Of all the humans in all the worlds, I’m incredibly grateful that you’re the one who I get to call my daughter. I love you. - Mom

    Although you’ve denied it one hundred times, you’ve proven it in one thousand ways. It was love regardless of whether you thought it existed.
