Understand
Lately, I've been trying to be understanding.
People grow and learn and have bad days, weeks, decades.
Time passes by in circles and ellipses.
I am the same person I was yesterday, the same person I'll be in 10 years.
My face wears the same expression, my head full of the same dreams.
Anticipation and reflection, two actions that leave us feeling more full and more empty.
Some of us are bitter and scorned, some of us are joyous and kind.
Human, nonetheless.
