no one:
How, Cat? HOW do you keep on going? WHY haven’t you just given up?
me:
Umm, because I promised myself a long damn time ago that I’d NEVER let myself down again as these seasons keep changing and changing. And believe it or not, the Light in me IS much stronger than the dark! So, I picture FUTURE me standing at the horizon—with a sword in one hand and fire in my eyes—waiting for YOUNGER me to reach the divide! Also? I sing my favorite love song to myself literally every single day because I am my own greatest love story. That’s how!
By the way, Happy Five Finger Death Punch Day, everyone! Yes, this one truly is my hands-down favorite “Death Punch.” If someone forced me to choose between this one and The Brighter Side of Grey, this one would win. It’s my mantra and one of my prayers. Also? My husband used to sing it to me ALL the time. It’s almost as though both he and The Cosmos knew what was coming for me—and that he was meant to plant the seeds in the garden of my soul to prepare me for life without him.
