Someone told me recently that we're all just steps away from our selves as children. We are all so fragile, so breakable and I think we forget that. Sometimes I make eye contact with a stranger and think, "You are seconds away from shattering."
And I want to reach out and take your hands and say, "I am so sorry."
Because for a second, I forgot. I forgot you were a human heart, pumping blood through a human chest, and I forgot.
God forgive me, I forget all the time.
love,
