012. reminiscing.
A very long time ago, I would post religiously to a livejournal account that I have more recently abandoned for artistic reasons. I had to go back there today, however, to access a few things that are still unique to that account. In doing so, I managed to stumble across something I wrote on another friend’s journal nearly 6 months ago.
“Hello.
I know it’s been a long time since I updated my journal, and even longer since I reached out to you. I guess I just wanted to let you know that, sometimes, everything in life turns out okay. That life isn’t fleeting moments of happiness in between pain and growth and everything else; it’s everything else that exists in between these long stretches of just being. I’m happiest when I’m just being, honestly.
And maybe it’s because I grew beyond the person who brought me to my knees, but I feel like I am a better person now because of it. And I thought that you should know. Not really sure why, perhaps I just thought that you’d appreciate knowing that life really does get better, even when it gets bad.
I hope you’re doing well. I don’t know if or when I’ll update my journal, or comment, or a million things. I just know that I felt like reaching out tonight.
I hope I was right.”
Emphasis mine, added today.
Funny how I seem to stumble upon these things right when I need to hear them the most.
