Whenever I come across kindness and softness I just want to dissolve into tears.
The sheer relief of having got to where I am now, of having come through something, to the other side somewhere, even if I sometimes feel lost and alone looking around me. That never lasts long by the way, feeling lost and alone, whenever I feel like that I try and do something kind and gentle for myself and remind myself of the people that are in my life now.
And they are in my life because I want them to be in my life now. And my life is lived forwards, and not looking backwards.
