It's the holidays, a magical time of year. Anything is possible, and hope can be found in the strangest places. As much as I hate to admit that there's a world outside of writing, there is. A world full of people, some you like, some you're indifferent to, some you love. Some you meet and through all bounds of space and time, you make a connection. You form a bond that can never be broken. And sometimes those bonds go beyond words, even when there aren't any words to be found.
I've been lucky enough to meet people like that. Maybe not as many as I would've wished, but looking back, I see the people I needed came into my life exactly when I needed them most. I hope to be able to return the favor by being there for them too. I also hope they know just how much they mean to me and that I'd do anything for them.
Hug someone you love today. Savor the moment. And never forget what matters most.
