today, a thrift store owner prophesied in(to?) my life.

he said i am a captivating speaker.
he said that even if i don't make it, i'll always have the spirit i had in me to 'fall back' on. it won't have been wasted.
he said i am a writer.
(he says i can write anytime day or night ;)

he looked at me and mirrored what he saw. and what he saw wasn't dreary or gray or desolate.

i got to stretch muscles i haven't since campus.
i got to see a man who is using his store to be salt and light
i got a great number of celebrity stories. eee! melissa mccarthy


lord... do i dare connect all this
-are you this kind of father?
