About Me

I never said that I was brave, but I thought I was stronger than this. And I wonder if I will always be so affected - by chance and regret. It’s just that I can’t seem to forgive my actions and words, and thoughts and the way that I have sometimes thrived on making a mess of things. Still I know he’s forgiven the ugly parts, because grace is this perfect sweater - soft, warm, heavy, thick - surrounding me so that I can't feel the things that make my skin turn cold.
