That’s the moment we should never forget.

As I being to round out my junior year of college, I am overcome by an intense sense of belonging.  The friends I swore were weird or bitchy or not interested in being my friends are now some of my best friends.  I have stood up for myself in situations I did not anticipate.  I have spoken up continuously.  I am employed at a job that I love.  I am asking for help in ways I didn’t plan on, but that seems to be a recurring theme in my young adult life.  This has been one of the most trying years of my life, but it has been worth it.  I truly feel empowered, brave, and ready to take on whatever is next.  

Ladies and Gentlemen, a text from my mother:

“When you are brave, you give others the courage to be brave.  GRRRRRIZ.”

The last part is in reference to my being a grizzly bear.  

You just stand.

This is a good day to love people.

This is the dawning of personal belonging.

I’m learning to sing with what I’ve got, not with what I fear.

Story of my life.

Sure on this shining night.

Of star-made shadows round

Kindness must watch for me

This side the ground.

This is one of my favorite humans.  That is all.

You can call me Al.

Today is the perfect day for brunch, studying, and relaxing with good friends.  And listening to Paul Simon.  There is an abundance of happiness, friends.

This song has always made my heart strangely warm.
