baby steps.

early this morning, i saw a man walking his dog.

he smiled at me.

i smiled back.

he smiled again.

and not once did i think he's laughing at me. that's why he's smiling. i took the smile and reciprocated.

sometimes a song comes on and you remember how perfect it is and how in that moment you hear words you'd been looking for. and sometimes a professor says exactly what you need to be told. write what you want to write. do not censor yourself. those words will bubble up in the middle of something else. they will haunt you.

i'm so thankful for sometimes.




pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try.


baby steps. baby steps.
