Fairy tales are true, not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.


I pray for guidance,
And a whisper, barely heard
"Take care of my son."

My best friends' mom just died of liver cancer. He would always call me his mom because I took care of him. I'll make sure he's alright, since she can't.
