In order to respond to that adequately, I would need a certain lightness of being I don't have right now, but you've done so much good to say that, and you have, I hope, some idea of the gift you're giving me by having said that.
There's been so many times I've come here to Writing when there's nothing else in my life that I could reach for that would have helped. I don't know if anything i've said is worthwhile, i don't know if anything makes sense to anyone but me, but knowing how much I want to help in the world, what you've said is Good.
And quite frankly, my dear,
who gives a sh*t whether you say i or me?
Certainly not I.
Me.
Do you care?
If we gave a f*ck what anybody thought, we couldn't be ourselves in joy, or grace, or forgiveness.
If I gave a f*ck what my ex-T thought, for instance, I would want to kill myself.
Which would be wasteful, and wrong, because I have taken up resources on this planet which I call home, and I have to give back before I can leave, and somehow my form of giving back is being fearless about myself.
Sh*t.
Good f*ck*ng sh*t what the hell have I done?
Do you ever wonder that about your life?
