It took..

3 incomplete, vivid dreams
1 spoken word poem on repeat
4 good conversations with friends
20 songs
3 hurried prayers
1 walk around the neighborhood
5 averted glances
4 genuine smiles
1 piece of chocolate
1 chapter of the book i'm reading
3 newly discovered artists
8 incomplete sketches
3 disappointed looks
1 hug



..To get through the day.
