we live in a world that sees time as a solid structure. but i’ve never been able to see it from that perspective. to me, time is a metaphor – a fluid & transient relativity.
i thought this was a weakness, because that’s what i had always been told. over & over. made to pay for it.
why do we try to change the very things about people that make them unique? why don’t we fondly & easily embrace quirks? plus, we sometimes want a square peg to fit in a round hole.
well, they do matter. every bit as much as the demographics we think we want. and probably more.
it’s true that we only know “good” as good as we’ve had it. in chocolate, in whiskey…and in love. and this makes us cynical sometimes. it also makes us dwell. settle.

what i give her is included.
but she polishes it.
i say, “how can you do that?”
she says, “it doesn’t really take any work. just a little love.”
