“ I shall not be defined by what I have suffered but how I have endured them. ”
Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

Underneath the sky, so void of light, the rain soaked me through. I held on to the railing and felt calm, even content, and then he had to reach through the dark, raise my temperature and make my heart beat a little bit faster. Not very gallant I should say...especially so close to bedtime. Friend or not, should he rob me of sleep, I'll be sure to take his.
