“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you’ve got two new people.”
— John Steinbeck; The Winter of Our Discontent
oh my god i just killed it in the mcdonalds drive thru
she heard my order exactly, i didn’t stutter, no uhhhh from me. clean, normal human interaction, just a fluid conversation. so cool
this seems fake …….but okk…
you survived
though the road was long and winding
you reached the end
tattered and torn, perhaps
but above all
you came out in one piece
whether by being glued together
reassembled after coming undone
or simply just by holding on with all your might
you made it
you survived
