Sometimes life is just really, really sad. Those days where nothing you've done is right, it seems like all the decisions that were made up to that point should've been made differently, and all future outcomes seem bleak.... Well sometimes on those days (especially when those days are birthdays), the only solution is: make Gay Rainbow Cupcakes. Because if we can't be happy about the repeal of DOMA, what else can we celebrate?
I went for a walk later that evening with the boyfriend and the sky was just magnificent! There's something overpowering and truly awesome when I see such spectacular displays of circumstance. I'm suddenly thankful for daring to take myself out for a walk, and grateful that I took the time to stop staring longingly down, transfixed not on the curb or the scuffs on my shoes, but on what I can no longer see-- what was lost; then by some good fortune, have my eyes drawn skyward to see a true beauty.... In those moments, I'm reminded of what I have.
