Favorite Quote:
“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” — Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility


And so I cried

I cried for yesterday

I cried for today

I even cried for tomorrow because who knows if I'll be able to cry then

I cried until all of my worries were submerged

And from my river of salty tears, my worries sprouted flowers

Before long, I was picking bouquets in my mind, meandering down a path lined with roses, and peonies, and tulips, and gardenias

Sometimes I sit in a lawn chair in my mind garden, thinking that this was the last place I would expect something beautiful to grow
