What I envy most about you and everyone else heading back to school is the certainty of it all. You’ve got a prescribed set of requirements to guide you through the next few years. Focus your energy on the completion of those assignments and you’ll succeed. Guaranteed. Where’s my syllabus to guide me through life?

Gone for a while Hoping, always, to return If you will let me

My thoughts create my world -Marcus Flutie

A relationship ends because you've outgrown it. It can begin again because you, as two, can fill the new shape.

And now, as I'm lying alone in my own bed, I keep thinking about writhing against him last night, naked and vulnerable. Even after we'd both risen and fallen, peaked and plummeted, even after Marcus was physically shrinking from inside me, I couldn't stop clutching, crying, trying. Trying to pull him deeper, deeper, deeper within. Trying to make him more a part of me than I am myself.

I can let my true self shine in front of God.

And so I’ll let you go, and let it be. Whatever
