"Fine." The word we use to describe consistant, unmoved, and unaltered lives. We live in a world that teaches us to be "fine"...even when we're not...even when we are in pain so deep words cannot convey it.

I choose not to be "fine". I choose to be "okay".

Okay with the joy of life...even when it comes midst the pain, okay with emotions that can change in an instant, okay with the rollercoaster, okay with talking about it, okay with laughing and hurting at the same time, and okay with the reality that life can hurt like hell and be amazingly fabulous at the same time.

I'll take "okay" over "fine" any day...and I do every day.

Amazing Moment

One of those moments that feels good even when it doesn't...and makes me smile even while I cry...

When I talked to my mom this morning, I told her she is amazing. She said she doesn't feel amazing. I told her that is okay, I think she's amazing anyway. She started to cry...and so did I.
