tonight i stepped into a place i haven’t been in a long, long time.

tonight i selfishly went somewhere to hear beautiful music, not expecting to enter the community.

tonight i sat in the rafters. alone. it was good. but i knew there was something happening in that room. i couldn’t sit alone.

tonight i stepped into a familiar room.

tonight i turned my head and saw a friend. she saw me slide in as well.

tonight sitting there, arms wrapped around this beautiful girl i realized something.

tonight i realized how heartbreaking it is that we live such a broken life.

tonight i also realized how thankful i am for the opportunities i’ve had to be broken. and i am so very very thankful for the ones who have picked up my pieces.

tonight i think i saw the beauty in the place i called home. a place that will always be home.
