sometimes, if something is really important...

you allow yourself to be vulnerable. to let go of anger. to ask for what you want. to ask for what you need. sometimes, you get exactly what you asked for. sometimes, the answer is less than ideal.
sometimes, the answer isn't an answer at all.

so maybe you dodged a bullet?
and maybe, you've just got to dust yourself off and try again.
I am looking at my pile of cried-in tissues and laughing and crying all over again.
sometimes, you just need to be human.
and it [expletive]-ing sucks.
