real

this photo was taken back when my life was real. joy was real. dreams were becoming real.

but then the light dawned, and i saw that nothing at all was real.

tonight i discovered this amazing blog, momastery, and since right now i am in a place where i simply cannot put my emotions into words, i wanted to share her take on a similar situation with you. read this post, including her words "Bearing the unbearable is impossible. But that’s what I have to do. That’s what so many of us have to do."

i don't know 'G', but in reading her blog posts, i know she is real. and that's inspiring.

like the Velveteen Rabbit, that is all I ever wanted to be anyway.

real. and really loved.

i'm workin' on it.
