All I got was a simple message reading "Truth Cult Fire. Tonight".
It's so amazing to share a brain with these two people. There's this synergy to our friendship that I can't find the right words to describe. We never waste time with meaningless small talk. We're too open and real for something so trivial. The second we sit down someone just starts talking and I always find myself spilling my guts to them. There's this unspoken contract of honesty and non judgement. It's so freeing to be able to be real.
With the shitty weather we had all week, it was too wet for a fire. The rain hadn't fully said her goodbye so there was a light mist caressing any skin we left uncovered. Someone suggested we walk to the lake. There is nothing better than taking a walk outside, I tell you. It's full of peace and the comfort to know you exist among all these other prodigious combinations of atoms. That lake immediately lifts my mood whenever I see it. It's so big, and deep, and black in the night.
I owe Bryce and Todd. I don't think they know how much they've actually saved me. I've had so many moments of feeling suffocated, and hating things I can't change. Turns out, things can change if you align yourself with the right people.
We sat on the dock and they made me list ten things about life that I found positive. Before we knew it we were going back and forth listing everything about life that we loved, that we would never take for granted.
Helped remind me that no matter how fucked up this world can be, there are things in it that make it beautiful. The world is good. I am happy.
