Love.

Nothing is coincidence. Today was beautiful, and none of it was random. Fate dropped us right where we needed to be. We may not always realize it, but there are some moments when the veil is lifted, the crud is scraped from our eyes, and we see the world and the people around us with all the beauty they entail, and nothing less. These are the moments where we can feel infinite, we try to savor the taste of it in our mouth, and soak up as much of it as we can before it crumbles away.

Today was perfect. Today was raw, real, and cleansing. Today was eye opening. Today is a day we will hopefully not forget because today, magic happened.

Right now, I can't know what this day will inspire, who this day will inspire. But I know it did inspire. I can't know where we will go from here, who will be set free, and who will change their ways. But I know some ankles and wrists were unshackled today. Shackles that might have otherwise been left to rust. It didn't take brute strength, pliers, or saws. It took the undressing of old wounds, the sharing of battle scars, getting naked and being vulnerable.

Everyone has a story to be shared. Everyone has a lecture to be learned. Bad and good things will happen in our lives, and they don't happen just for shits and giggles.

If someone had backed out of sharing their story today, today wouldn't have had the impact it did. I know I will never forget what I learned, I will continue to be inspired by the people that were "randomly" dropped into my life. And I will forever be at a loss of how to thank these people. I know this post was all very vague and all over the place, but that's because I'm still letting it marinade. Hopefully after a few days I will be able to properly put my thoughts down and do it justice, but until then, you get the word squirts. Today was not about me or my writing anyway. It was nothing I could have ever produced from my mere fingertips. And I can't express how humbling and wonderful that is.
Love,
Kat
