Dear You
It is cold in my bed and I wish you were here with me. I like to feel your skin against mine, even though the two of us generate too much heat to stay pressed together. You say that without me you wake up cold. I find that I can’t get warm. My toes are like ice hours after I climb into bed.

Today, tomorrow, and yesterday....

Advice
I had a bit of an epiphany this morning, after some well intentioned advice inspired a bit of self-doubt and insecurity on my part.
Advice, even good advice, must be taken with a grain of salt. I may be coming late to this realization, but nonetheless- the person advising you is not you. They way they do things and the way you do things is different. The decisions you make will be different, and...
