On a day in a week during a semester filled with doubts, I am deciding to make another list. A list of things I know to be true.
This I am sure of:
1) I have friends who hug me when I'm sad, smile when I celebrate, and love me for all the crazy things I can be.
2) I have a life partner who helped to pay for my dead aunt's funeral.
3) I have time to make mistakes.
4) Chocolate poptarts should be microwaved for exactly 22 seconds to reach maximum tastiness.
5) My favorite poet emailed me personally two days ago.
6) Even if I never get to see it again, I watched three babies enter this world. I got to see real life magic happen in those rooms.
7) I can pull off bold lipstick.
8) I've learned something from every relationship I've been in.
9) Lists will always make me feel better, even on nights where little else can.
