Rain, rain, go away...

Here we are talking about the weather again.

"Was it raining up there this morning too?"
"Yes. For a little bit."

The conversation is so mundane it makes me want to scream and pull out my hair. I don't want this. I want to talk about big things. Things that matter to me or to you. I want to tell you I'm sick of small talk. I know you don't care how work is going for me just as much as I don't care how the work day is treating you. I want to know what makes you tick.

What never fails to bring tears to your eyes?
          What is something you wish you could just forget?
                    What makes you smile from the top of your head to your toes?

I won't ask you those questions though. I'll just keep the small talk rolling enough to remind me there is another person on the other end of the phone. At least for today.

You never know what tomorrow will bring.

If you cannot lose something you never had,
       please explain to me why this hurts so bad...

 “And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
- Khaled Hossein

Invent me a word
that can encompass this ache,
‘missing’ is too small.

Some days you just need to stop, breathe, and make a list.

Things I'm grateful for:
- Family. family. family.
- Having the most coolest cat for my NSLP (wondering what that means? click here.)
- Long drives with loud music that has great memories attached to it
- Caramel frapuccinos after work whenever the occasion calls for one

"What she really craved was a connection. That feeling you got when you knew you were supposed to be with someone."
