Dear Subaru,

Do you ever feel knocked down?
Try and try again and nothing?

Plans canceled or forgotten. Emails unreturned. Invitations ignored. Projects in limbo.

Does it ever piss you off?

It's a fucking honor to know me. I have a lot to offer.
I'm passionate.
I'm engaged.
I try to be aware. I care about the world I live in.
I try.
To face my pain. To give back.
To love and to heal.

But sometimes it doesn't seem to matter.

I'm just like any other person, worthy and good, and I demand to be seen!

So I'm just going to do my thing.

Call it stubborn. Call it persistence. Call it whatever you want but I'm tired of lying down. If you don't want what I have then so be it. But I'm here. I have something to give. And that's no accident. Someday. Someday someone... the world...will want me. My very own unique combination of qualities and gifts and talents.

And until then I'll be here.
Nurturing.
Festering.
Blossoming.
Gestating.

Then I'll be in full bloom and you won't be able to miss me.

Expand.
