i know it seems random.
this is only part of the photo.
i was alot younger then.
many, many years ago.
but i gained good friends then.
i keep them still.
i am thankful for them.
specifically, right now,
for the clarity they offer up,
even in silence,
at a time when my heart feels a little like
the rainy day outside.
their friendship has led me to things i now thrive on.
their friendship reminded me to keep trying.
“you’ve simply brought this madness to light and i should thank you”
