cause tonight Saturn is on his knees proposing with all of his ten thousand rings that whatever song we’ve been singing we sing even more. - Andrea Gibson

It's okay. Everybody's survival looks a little bit like death sometimes.

What I know about living is the pain is never just ours
Every time I hurt I know the wound is an echo
So I keep a listening to the moment the grief becomes a window
When I can see what I couldn’t see before,
through the glass of my most battered dream, I watched a dandelion lose its mind in the wind
and when it did, it scattered a thousand seeds.

So the next time I tell you how easily I come out of my skin, don’t try to put me back in
just say here we are together at the window aching for it to all get better

And I wasn’t gonna be just ok.

I was gonna be perfect.
