Odds are, you nudged shoulders on a busy street with a broken human today, and you didn’t even know it. Practice empathy. Practice kindness. Always.

even in the midst of my darkest days
there were minutes – moments –
flickers of light

My overthinking is only romantic when it’s described as a wanderlust mind that spans galaxies; not when I call it what it is, obsessive and intrusive.
