Sometimes what we want, 

isn't what we need.

.

I'm trying to let go.

Gracie.

I miss being a little girl sometimes. 

I was the chubbiest little three year old - with dimples, rosy cheeks, 

and a hearty laugh that would have made anyone laugh.

The naivety,  the fearlessness, the love for the little things...

simple. It was simple to be young. 

I'd do anything to erase the years of experiences, pains, realizations...to go back to that season of a carefree soul. 

But the truth is, I wouldn't know what I had - I didn't know it then - if I erased everything I've been through since then, I would have no point of comparison. 

I wonder if I am doing that now in my life...

...not realizing what I have.

I want to see it.

I want to re-awaken to the beauty of living.
