Shine.

In the morning I read something yesterday about a man who lost his first love to cancer.
I wept softly as it was so beautiful & so heartwrenchingly sad.

In the evening I watched Steel Magnolias.
I wept so hard for it was so terrible, but then I shook with laughter.

Laughter through tears is indescribably nice.
Your body's confused as to what to do so you shake & sniff & smile.
It's wonderful.

Today, I listened to a song I had never heard before by an artist I've adored for too long.
The song made me glow & beam & shine.
Gorgeous gorgeous engulfing feelings.

The sun shone through my windows today.
I think it's trying to tell me it will all be okay.

2 smiles:

The sun always tells the truth.

I love Steel Magnolias - especially the very tragic bit where Julia Robert's mother is going almost mad from grief and shouts, "I just want to hit someone!" and Clairee says, "Here - hit Weezer!" and you find yourself in hysterics! And was the article about the loss of the first love in Elle? If it is the same one, I agree, it is beautiful. Your style of writing is just lovely! Thank you for visiting Sparkles-and-Crumbs-land. xx
P.S. Yes - the dress was a very random spur-of-the-moment buy from Joules. Proved very useful! ^^
