Finally, here's to everyone who has survived something devastating--something that shattered your self-confidence and distorted your world in one blow. Whether you were fierce in the face of it or fell to pieces or shoved it out of sight for years--I don't care how you got here. Every day you are stronger. Every day you are healing.

I wish I could read her mind. She's a pensive, deep-thinking girl, and it's not unusual for her to stare into space, lost in her thoughts. Normally, I'm fascinated when she does this - the shifting emotions crossing her face, marked by faint smiles, frowns or grimaces. That's not how I feel now, when I can't escape the uneasy awareness that her contemplations concern me. "What are you thinking about?" She blinks distractedly, and then stare..

First love defies duplication. Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten. After, the walls are left inscribed and gratified.
