It’s sad when people you know become people you knew, when you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part your life, how you used to be able to talk for hours and how now you can barely even look at them. But everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

To be adorned with a star is my greatest dream;
To it you gave life. After the piercing ice and wind,
Embellished in your cozy living room, I’m proud and tall and
Cozy as cashmere and cocoa in a house tucked in by snow.
