certainty

it is not found in the knowledge of what is to happen
for that can't always be assured

certainty

is found in caring words
in warm company
in gentle
calming
love

Thank God for Adele

the things I could do

knowing myself
facing certain truths
facing my worst fears
overcoming them

letting go
adjusting
growing

forgetting the useless
remembering the relevant

learning to love
myself
hence, another
again

were the things that, after all, I could finally do
