i just couldn't yesterday.

with everything going on,
i can't help but feel helpless.
i want to fix everything,
hug everyone,
tell them it will be okay,
but i can't.

instead,
 my temper is short.
i get upset over vegetables
and cry when i watch videos of stranger's babies
and grey's anatomy.

i know marrying you won't fix everything.
it won't stop my parents from moving,
it won't heal my sister,
it won't get me a job,
and it won't make me less dramatic,
but it will help.
it will help because i will have you.

you can dull the heart hurt.
you can calm my worries.
you can give me strength.

three weeks.
three weeks and i get to be with you every day.
not just weekends or holidays.
|monday|tuesday|wednesday|thursday|friday|saturday|sunday|
>>repeat>>

three weeks and i'll be yours
and you'll be mine
and it will stay that way 
even after we die. 
the reality of forever is beautiful.

3 weeks? You got this. You do.

Plus, I cry over my peas all the time. No biggie.

You know.. some people hate it when their friends get married.. I however love it. I love that my friends have someone to pick them up and brush off the dust, every single day.. because obviously I can't..

I'm so happy for you.

Your sister.
Your mom.
All that hurt.
Ugh.

The fact that you're watching Grey's is making me feel so much better about the massive amount of time I spend watching it. Oh, and that you cry too. That show is so dang emotional!

"it will be that way even after we die."

I LOVE THAT. I love that we have that hope.
Love this Brissa. I know what you mean, btw.
About the hopeless helplessness.

this almost made me cry. and i only cry from animal movies and also watching strangers babies on youtube. this is the good stuff, brissa. realizing all of this despite all the scary stuff is what is so so good about this world.

Unknown said...

it's amazing how much one person can have such an impact on your life. it won't solve your problems, but it definitely makes them a little easier to handle. good luck with everything! just saw your announcement at the ole in-laws yesterday. beautiful!
