Re... births

This is on postsecret this week. It struck me that there have been a number of days in my life when I've felt really reborn. Or maybe not even reborn, but born for the first time. Days when something has happened and I've had a realization, an epiphany about my being and my existence that causes me to see the world with new eyes and hear the sounds of the planet with fresh ears. After a period of darkness it's always refreshing to see that other people can find their new selves in this mess, too, and that as long as we all keep trying there's a good chance that this hope I carry inside isn't for naught.

I'm happy for this new girl. From the stats alone she's a lot like me. I hope she has a wonderful journey in this new land she's found.
