Inside

People give pain, are callous and insensitive, empty and cruel…but place heals the hurt, soothes the outrage, fills the terrible vacuum that these human beings make. ~ Eudora Welty

I love coming home. The highlight of my day is bringing Brandon back home after long days at work and daycare. Here I am happy. Here, I am free from all the people who cause pain. Here, I can read and write and refocus. Here I am no longer bombarded with the days ups and downs that don’t matter in the grand scheme of life. Here, life has purpose. Here, there is love and happiness and warmth.

Outside, it’s man’s cruel world. Out there is hatred and spite and malice and evil. But inside, we’re family. Inside, there’s love.
