- The opposite of anxious
The other day, I heard someone say that "The opposite of anxious is not relaxed. The opposite of anxious is present." This really resonated with me because trying to force myself to relax when I am anxious has never helped me, but living in the moment and embracing the present has.

Often, father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not as bright as they are, that she cannot reason as they do. However, this collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate.

Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you're falling to the floor thinking, "I am falling to the floor crying," but there's an element of the ridiculous to it - you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you're on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn't paint it very well.

I was burnin' up a fever, I didn't care much how long I lived. But I swear I thought I dreamed her, she never asked once about the wrong I did. When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her.

I like to pretend that I already died and asked God to send me back to earth so I can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and see my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1000 more times. I promised that I will never forget the miracle of being here.
