I made you a promise once.
To be there for you no matter what.
Together or not, in the good and bad, here I am.
For the rest of my life.
Until one of us no longer exists here.
And when I meet my creator and they ask "Did you keep all your promises?"
I'll simply nod while I stand next to them.
I kept one promise, Creator.
I smile in a form that isn't earthly.
Thinking about that one soul.
It was a test of loyalty but an honor to make.
I'm telling you, test it now.
Or maybe there will be a day you really need it.
I'll be holding out my hand for you to take.
You can call it crazy.
Maybe I over took my devotion.
Shake your head and say it's not real or true.
You're going to tell me you don't deserve it.
You have it anyway.
What good are promises if they're not for life?

I see the world a little differently than most. Even at a young age I was writing down what I saw but never sharing it with a soul until now. I'm choosing love over fear.

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
