Cooking breakfast for Caitlin this morning might have been the best thing (if not the only thing) I have done all day.
It has been a miserable day and I am feeling disappointed with a lot of things in life -- nothing in particular.

I have said it so many times. I will always say it and I want you to always know it: I believe in you. Life is really difficult sometimes and we will both feel like giving up once in awhile, but somewhere deep, deep down we both know that we will get to where we're going. Or rather, we'll always be where we're supposed to be. I'm always here for you. You're never alone in your struggles... even though we share separate hardships, we are here for each other. I love you with all of my heart. Remember this poem you've read to me when I'm feeling hopeless : your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is a light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you. (the laughing heart / charles bukowski)
Just be, sweetheart. That's all you need to do. Be present and try your best. It will always be good enough.
Also, you wrote that making me breakfast was the best thing you've done all day... I want you to know that it's the best thing that's happened to me today. Without that early morning time with you, my day would not have been the same.

:
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
