Dear God, make me a bird...

I got to spend time with a good friend I hadn't seen in a while. She makes me laugh and encourages my inner (increasingly not-so-inner) sass.

I also had a rather emotional conversation with my mother this afternoon. It was a long, tiring, emotional week for me.

Do you ever feel the urge to retreat and let your heart and soul heal and rejuvenate? I'm nearing 30 and I've never wanted to run away so much in my life as I have in the past year. As I told my sweet, understanding older brother tonight, I'm feeling the need to retreat and lick my metaphorical wounds.
