interior renovations

It's astonishing, really, how much love I've discovered can fit inside of a person. I used to have a lot of empty space in me; dark and cobwebby places, with a few mouldering boxes, damp on the bottom, marked DO NOT OPEN. But I've done a lot of work since then. Opened windows, let in the light, chased out the spiders. Dumped out the boxes, sorted their contents, threw most of it away. I'm still busy, scrubbing down walls, moving a few things I already had to a place of honor, and preparing space for more: Courage. Hope. Strength. Love.

Turns out, I've got lots more room for love.
