The week ends, the week begins

What are you creating today?

I have created laughter, connections, and satisfaction.

While it hasn't yet been created, I've recently begun construction on a bridge for the voids I have created. 'Void' sounds like such a tangible word, but I have heard and felt my voids (and plentiful, they are) more recently than I have seen them. Remarks, distance, absence. You can hear them, you can feel them, but you can't always see them. So how do you bridge these gaps? Reach. I, for one, am not the poster child of emotional initiative but I feel as though this is one aspect of our lives that is never too far gone. Reconnecting and reestablishing something that once was, or possibly never was, present is a daunting task; a task for which we are all adequately equipped when the time is upon us. While it would traverse the hypocritical boundaries for me to console, consider this my advice column directed towards a sole audience member: myself.

Make the effort; the phone call, the visit, the letter, the thought. Stop thinking and start doing; good acts mean nothing unless they are implemented. Play the humility card. Let your guard down. Open up enough to let the light out, and channel the resentment elsewhere.

I've created a to-do list for my day off tomorrow, a playlist for my best friend, and a bucket list in my head.
