I survived today successfully, and even enjoyably, believe it or not. There were many Olive Garden breadsticks involved... Today was a pretty good day indeed, what with all the yelling and the napping and the bread. And then around midnight i came home and was reminded that there is something bigger than me. Hold on, let me clarify that. What I mean is that I am finally having to become an adult, and it is a lot harder than I expected, yet will likely be more rewarding. There is a lot for me to do here, from singing my songs to whomever will listen to writing for the paper to listening when some random anybody needs an ear lent for an hour or two.
In order that you may know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have not had as bad a day as this post may seem to indicate, I will leave you with a totally unrelated bit of song I call "The Reconciliation" that I wrote a few months back:

In Your eyes are the secrets that I've never told anyone, including myself.
In Your hands is my heart, broken and bleeding mess that it is.
And today I will give to You my unspoken dreamlife.
And today I offer You my uncertain future.
I'll share with You my weaknesses, my unfinished thoughts, and my fears
so You can make them great.

Until tomorrow, keep it real, and lend your ear to anyone you think may need it. You never know when you may need one yourself. Peace out, yo.
