My thoughts, my experiences, my sense of humor, my feelings, my fears, my goals, my problems.
Listen to me, help me, guide me, criticize me, learn with me, accept me.

You know what? It’s really like that sometimes.
I was in Washington for Thanksgiving with my family, feeling overwhelmed after just the first day. It was raining and all I wanted to do was sit outside on the porch and I was so afraid I would upset them for wanting to be alone after I had just made my biannual trip out to visit them. I should have gone outside.

I’ve had old friends on my mind lately. Clouding my day thoughts. Taking up all the space in my dreams.
My biggest fear recently has been being an unwanted piece of someone’s life. “Maybe they’re glad that we haven’t talked in so long. Maybe trying to rekindle those relationships is something they have no interest in. Something that would cause them unwanted stress.”
It is such a weight off of my shoulders when someone sends me a message first. “They were thinking of me, even if only for a second.”
I don’t want to be a burden.

Images of over 10,000 galaxies captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Each speck of light representing a galaxy contains millions of stars.
Really puts into perspective how tiny our own galaxy is relative to everything else out there.
