the red dress

i felt like a fairy tale today and i think it was just what i needed. if i was physically able to skip, i would've skipped all day. i released as much fear and anger as i could through an emotional cleansing and i think i might have dropped a few pounds. i don't know what will happen tomorrow but i can't fear it. i'll do what i can to be positive and bright.

i made someone smile today. he was what some refer to as mentally disabled, but i prefer to see him as a blissful soul. i treated him with respect and care and listened to what he wanted to say. i had a conversation with him and gave him a hug. he adores luna park and when he realized we adored him right back, it brought this sweet light to his eyes and one of the most genuine and happy grins i've ever seen to his face. his caregiver had tears welling in her eyes. "you've restored my faith in the world," she said and i couldn't help but hug her too.

recently i've begged the powers-that-be to restore my faith in the world. to have someone credit me for doing it blew me away. strange how the power was so close the whole time. what a great lesson.
