24. Always There

I remember talking to my counselor about feeling sad, because there isn't anything really permanent that I can hold on to. Family passes away, friends move on, jobs change and so do living situations. When we first met, he asked me what I majored in. I told him philosophy, and he said that he had minored in it. I like to attribute what he said next to that fact. I said something along the lines of, "There's nothing and no one who will always be there." He replied, "You'll always be there." I absolutely cracked up laughing, and even thinking about it now I can't help but smile. Being reminded of that makes me feel very, very joyful. I think it has something to do with my ability to bootstrap and probably something to do with my love of self as well.

So, here I am. And here I'll always be!
