I looked to you and I thought

“You have no idea what’s coming, you poor thing”

The next 12 hours were spent traveling

You were stuck in a kennel that I was able to carry you around in

We were dropped off at lax and I took you from gate to gate

Crying for over an hour, scared and I’m sure you thought you were alone.

Every hour that passed I would just try to reassure you that “it’s almost over”

And that I was here with you.

Although you don’t speak English I couldn’t help but talk to you like you understood some of what I was saying.

I know you had no idea what was going on or about the journey ahead. And I know you didn’t exactly have a choice but, you trusted me to bring you across the country and you eventually adjusted to this new little room.

I look to you now and think the same thing I did in February “you have no idea what’s coming, you poor thing.”

But really

The fact of the matter is -

neither do I.

I know you’re going to be sad

And I know you’re going to cry for me when I don’t come home to cuddle you at night .

And I know this life is better for you than the shelter was but I can’t help but feel like I’m betraying you.

You always wanna be near me, with one paw touching me or at least in sight.

I’ve never had a pet I’ve been this close to.

You’re /my/ cat. I know you’ll be okay. And I know I will be too

But I’m so sad thinking about entering a room in a place I call home without you in it

So much life has been lived since I was chronically on this app lol

Im no longer 22

I no longer live in SoCal

I saw a video of a woman saying there’s no such thing as starting over.

I find great comfort in that.

She said “There is no starting over

There is only continuing to become”

Starting over sounds like so much work

I will continue on, continue to be

and continue to love.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
