soul float / soul sink

my soul is crushed by:
1. fluorescent lighting
2. humidity
3. hard water
4. pickles
5. jealousy
6. too much beige
7. feeling left out
8. my own standards for myself
9. automobile maintenance

my soul is buoyed by:
1. 4:41pm light in the midwest
2. artistic endeavors
3. cello sounds
4. night walks
5. salted caramel hot chocolate
6. metaphor
7. 6-page letters
8. my cerulean moleskine
9. these autumnal days


i don't know why i picked 9. it just seemed right.
every day i turn my head to look another demon in the eye.
it's not about who blinks first. it's about who steps forward
and keeps gaining ground, one slow painful centimeter at a time.
i am one persistent princess. i will prevail.

there is grace sufficient for me.

Is that salted caramel hot chocolate really good? I was tempted to test it whilst in gloomy old Portland.

Love you.
