After days like today, I wonder why I ever have felt alone. It's not something that happened, or something that will happen, it's just a general feeling of acceptance like somebody else out there cares about me.
  • Today I woke up, got out of my brothers huge comfey bed, walked around my house naked and got dressed at my leasure. I got in my Jeep and drove to the spa and handed them a gift certificate for a Hour and a half Hot stone massage. I had a woman rub my entire body with oil and hot stones and listened to soothing music the entire time. I got back into my Jeep, and drove to Brittany's house. I scooped up Brooklyn and held her in my arms and rocked her to sleep while Brittany cleaned. Brooklyn and I had a conversation, though I'm not sure what it was about. I gave her a bottle and she fell asleep in my arms. I put her in her chair and went home to shower. Brittany came over without the baby and we made dinner then sat in the hot tub for an hour and talked like we used to. We talked about last summer and all of the shit we got into. We also talked about our futures. These are the things I miss the most sometimes.
  • Last night I introduced my parents to my neice. We played on the floor, and I even changed a diaper! I layed down on the couch with Brooklyn in my arms and we fell asleep for a little bit. She was curled up in my chest with her head on my shoulder. It was a moment I will never forget.

I now understand why children make such a lasting impression on somebody, and why people go out of their way to have babies. I'm here in this big old house, all alone, and all I want is to be curled up with that angel.

It's days like today that make me wonder what my future is going to be like. I'm excited to start my future, one step at a time.

The sinking feeling in my stomach tells me that I want you.
The coldness in your voice tells me that you've changed.
Don't leave me now. Just when I start to find my way.

Don't turn your back on me.
