We are often at our best and our worst with those we most love. Something about the safety to push, something about the trust that we have that they will love us at our best, our worst, in our beauty and when our ugly rears it's head. At times, it is as difficult when we are at our best as it is when we are at our worst. Both involve a deep and wide swath of truth and honesty. That is to say, we are interconnected. We struggle through this together. To hear and be heard. To love and be loved. To know and be known. In the tension of moments, hopes for longevity are formed. Spouses, friends, parents, people on the street. All are interconnected. Will we trust? Will we hear? Will we learn? We are all weak and broken. It's in our ability to be interconnected that we are strongest.

I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
