Out With the Old.
Getting through life unscathed is like forfeiting a coffee addiction sans headaches: an unlikely story. So we take pleasure in the small stuff-smiling babies in passerby carriages, the blessing of our sneeze by Perfect Strangers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before 10am, and the drink that's on the house. Until the moment when the wind's knocked out of us like the Tornado which Grew in Brooklyn. But we get through it because a) we don't have a choice, and b) we come out more resilient and loved than when things were as simple as childhood lunches for breakfast and bartender rituals which feel like anything but. Enjoy!
Very intense. But as I get older, I find myself saying (more and more often)...it is what it is.
