My dear friend Kate, never have I ever doubted you’d always remain true to who you are.  That is the greatest thing we can all strive to do:  be authentic with ourselves, and hopefully as a result, with the rest of the world.

I commend you.  Every ounce of your being.

And thank you (once again, because you do it all the time) for putting words into this world which so accurately reflect the truth in my own heart. 

This is your space and your space it will remain.  Just as this is my space and my space it will remain.  Just as any creation or expression of humanity belongs to every person walking this earth… who you are is who you are, and the way you choose to express that is yours entirely.

Own it.  As you always do.

Proud of you, little beauty.

scenes-from-my-hood:

i have it on strong authority that the doctor’s new girlfriend pays reasonably frequent visits to this blog, and also to my facebook page.

we’ve all done it—the internet creeping.

it has never, i can say firmly, done me any good.

but it’s a funny thing—if she reads here, do i have to think…
