grief never fills you completely up,
although it sometimes feels
that
way.
there is always some space
left
for beauty
and laughter.

acceptance.
it's what we always think we need to strive towards.....
that we can somehow attain it if we just try hard enough....
that a certain amount of space and time will yield us this magical
assent.

when honestly,
sometimes all we can really expect of ourselves is resolution at best.

and i think that's okay.
