my lovely wildflower, Sonushka.


I have so much homework I should be doing, but instead all I want to do is sit here on this couch, and watch Sonia try on outfits for her trip to Germany. Sun leaking through the window on her sandy blond hair and olive skin, brown sandals and that green vest she always likes to wear. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone as alive as this woman; it makes me smile just thinking about how much more vibrant and colorful my life has become with her in it.

Anxious heart, excited for what is to come as well as just trying to take it all in. Take a deep breath, mind racing. I’m ready to move on with life, but how bittersweet it will truly be. I’m ready to throw my textbook out the window and just live. Breathe. Trying to juggle so many things, it seems unnatural. Only by the grace of God have I survived with my head above the water. Does life ever slow down? I wonder…

For now I will continue to watch beautiful Sonia, and pray that time stands still.
