As some of you know, Hero is currently in the hospital. She will remain there for a total of three days. Though she is only six years old, her kidneys are shutting down. The vet estimates that only thirty percent of their functionality remains.

Her treatment is not cheap. Some friends have offered to help me with the cost, and circulate a link about Hero for strangers who might want to help. So I'm breaking out my old livejournal to do my first public post in years, for my little girl.

i've been seeing these 2009 and aughts memes floating around my friends list... i don't make resolutions because i don't keep them. change has to be more lasting than that. but what i do is remember, and hopefully, evolve.

i'm not gonna sit here and talk about my decade. it started when i was 19. i barely remember most of it. a lot of it is a blur. i could sit and write about my profession and how i loved it, or how hard my life has become, or everything my family has lived through. but i already wrote about all of that, so it's just redundant now.

instead, i submit to you that i learned where i belong in the last ten years. i learned who i want to be, and what i want. i had my heart broken.

i grew up.

life is easier, if you're breathing. and not setting yourself on fire in order to be reborn. i still have a lot going on, but... i got this.

insubstantial regular post to come, provided my power doesn't cut out again.
