What the Fireflies Knew

by Kai Harris

me realize,

“In life, we’re going to get hurt. If we stay focused on that hurt, and nothing else, then we won’t ever be able to heal. But if we focus on the healing, well, then we’ll start to notice that hurt disappear. It’s all a matter of what you choose to focus on.”

At the beginning of the summer, I ain’t even know how to catch a firefly. I smile to myself, cause now I can catch a firefly, and I can hold on, too.
