simplicity

Simplicity.

At this time I yearn for it.

     Jocee reminded me of this.  I thought back to two years ago, when we laughed at how single we were.  It was lonely, but it was simple.  I am still single, she is not, he is a friend, it is complicated.

     Four years ago, when we all just started anew, and I wore t-shirts every day.  Study guides were given, teachers said what they wanted, reading people was easier.  

     Five years ago when I was no longer bullied, no longer watching my back.  We were all 'friends', all in it 'together'.

     When it was my fifth birthday and I ran out to get ice cream from the truck, meeting a sister by spirit and her younger sister becoming a lifelong companion.  

I think back to those times, the simple joys.

How can I make life simple now?
