Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

But What If It Is Broke?

There's the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I think a lot of us tend to live with, "it might be broke but it's too ___________ (fill in the blank) to fix it".

I don't want to do that anymore.

There are things that are broken.

I need to figure out steps to take to fix them.

It's hard.

Part of me honestly doesn't want to.

Hopefully a bigger part of me doesn't want to live with the brokenness anymore.

I guess we'll see...

The thing is, when habits are ingrained, good or bad, it's hard to know how to change them.

Harder still to know how to change who you are.

But I have to try.

I want to like me again.

Oh how i understand all to well what you mean. Life really can cause us to be happy with the well enough instead of striving for the perfect. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

I have something that I need to try to fix. And the fixing is gonna hurt. But, I have to try.
