unpacking

there is no reason to be reflective when it's so late in the night. what i really need to do is go to sleep so i don't look like a sloppy raccoon tomorrow. but here's a few thoughts that ran through my mind as i sit here listening to my loved ones snore (dogs and fiance) right next to me:

1) it's hard to be happy for people when you hold a grudge against them.
2) it's hard to say good bye, so when you do, you gotta make sure that you're committed to doing so in the first place.
3) when there's no feelings left (be it positive or negative) about the matter whatsoever, the cycle is finally complete and you can give the baggage a mental rest.

so good bye, good night, and in a few hours, good morning. somewhere in the grand scheme of things, everything does happen for a reason.

(i should not have eaten that coffee dessert that keeps me up thinking way past my bedtime........)
