MMX

Today may have been the happiest day of my life. I don't know how else to put it. Just happy.
What happened?
Absolutely nothing.
I woke up too late. I went out for breakfast. I sat in a friendly silence that assured me that things had not changed no matter how distant sisters became. I ate glorious amounts of food, and everything tasted great.
I sat in front of a mirror for hours, and I adored everything I saw. We talked, we laughed, we said absurdities and weren't too afraid to believe them. Outside, the world was a painting. From dawn to dusk, it was a perfect image brought to life.
I went to a party. I saw tons of people I loved, but none of whom I liked. But I did find something. I found a comfort in my solidarity that had never been there before.
On the way home, I laughed. And I cried. In a perfect unison. I laughed because I realized how stupid it all was. I cried because I realized how stupid I've been. And all the time I've lost and wounds I've caused. And then I laughed. I laughed because you can only laugh at something when it is behind you. You can cry anytime, but laughter is time's gift to the past.
I wish I could take everything I feel inside and wear it, paint it onto my skin for the whole world to see.
To life
To love
To forgiveness
To improvement
To tomorrow
To today
To forever
To never
To being happy
To resolution.
