You would never tell your friend
she looks fat in a bathing suit,
or
tell your coworker his arms are scrawny,
so why would you tell yourself
that?
"To wish you were someone else
is to waste the person you are."

i hope you had a good week,
it felt like a long one for me after
coming back home from a visit
with my folks. Catching up with
all the things that accumulate when
you're away has kept me busy --
laundry, grocery shopping, errands --
all mundane necessities of life!
And now that i'm home, we are
finally getting rain in the Valley of
the Sun after going without rain
for 70 days. i woke up to wind
and pattering rain drops -- and just
wanted to stay curled up in bed all day!
