Always know that I love you.

A dear friend made sure to tell me that no matter how far away or how long it had been... she wanted me to know she loved me.

Sometimes I have no clue how I get through my days much less navigating this world basically alone as a force of one.

And then a friend says something like that and everything lightens up and that nagging loneliness that's sometimes there is gone for a bit.

I say the same to my friends... but I don't always let in that they care too. This one resonated. And that feeling is carrying me through.

Sometimes it's just a cup of coffee, tacos, music, sunrises, maybe some more coffee, or just slowing down to appreciate each other.
