RELATIONSHIPS

• Be yourself completely

• Join them in their world
• Open your world to them

I’m all alone now in a town where I know no one.


It’s 100 degrees out and there’s no way to escape it, so I decide to drive up the town’s tallest mountain to see the highest view.

Driving up the mountain road, I see ahead in the distance…a strange green streak carving fast down the mountain.

Closer comes the streak and I see it’s a young guy crouched low on a longboard, swerving with arms out for balance, green shirt fluttering, leaned into the wind…and this is how I met my new good buddy

First…I understand…

I know how it feels to love and be loved for exactly what you are…all your scars and all your brightness too. I know what it is to miss that and feel like there’s nothing left without it.

To lay awake at night and think maybe it would have played out different if this or that.

But you cannot go backwards in life.

There is only now and the future. That’s it.

Let it go. Let them go. Focus your energy on stuff you love doing.
