Fall Too Well

by Erin Branscom

I don’t know whether I need a hug, an extra-large coffee, two months of sleep, a shot of tequila, or eight hundred and twenty-seven chicken nuggets. I’m working and struggling with everything, and life is just hard right now. But it’ll be fine.

One thing I’ve learned is that family isn’t always the one you come from. It’s the one that you make.

Because sometimes family isn’t who you started with; it’s who you end up with.

Life is good. Sometimes life is hard, but right now, it’s good. And the hard times are worth it because we get the good in the end.
