emotions that come like a tidal wave

Today, I am grateful for my person and for the way the universe intertwines our journeys. 

I am learning how my need to feel understood has driven me to be unintentionally closed off. 

I accomplished acknowledging discomfort, recognizing there is a lot my inner child and teenager still have to say, and giving myself the time and space to process the influx of emotions gracefully. 

I delighted in waking up early, reading my book in bed and falling back to sleep for a bit, in spending this rainy day snuggled up reading, in celebrating a friend's acceptance of a new job, and in hearing I am loved from someone I love.
