“…history suggests that the human spirit wanders farthest in the silent hours between midnight and dawn. Those dark fruitful hours, seldom recorded, whose secret flowerings breed peace and war, loves and hates, the crowning or uncrowning of heads.”

five (not particularly interesting) things i’ve realised last night
It’s terrifying when you get hit with that realization at 3am that you can’t picture yourself ten or fifteen years into the future bringing your kids to mass on Easter Sunday or at a middle school play or renewing your wedding vows with your husband on your 30th anniversary so what if that mean it’s never going to happen? But when you calm yourself down you should think about all the things that ten years ago you couldn’t picture yourself ever doing. And I bet at least some of those have actually happened. And I also bet things you never even tried to picture, never would have guessed were possible, and certainly never could have hoped for have happened as well.
