It baffles me that so much joy and sadness can simultaneously coincide within a single person.
My heart is filled with a cresting river of sorrow, threatening to spill over at a moments notice and flood the world around me.
I don't understand how even happiness can make you further sad.
But it is what it is, I suppose.
Maybe we are all like churches. Shiny brilliant colored windows of stained glass depicting beautiful stories of hope and happiness but secretly we are filled with the most broken hearts on earth. Maybe so many people don't go to church because it's easy to stand outside and admire the beauty from afar but once you go inside, things get real. They lose their luster, their shine. They lose the false sense of security you thought you found in their seemingly stable structures.
Churches can collapse in earthquakes. People can too. I guess tectonic plates aren't the best thing to serve a fancy dinner on. But then,what do I know? I'm just the girl who washes stained glass windows... from the inside.
