It's getting harder and harder to say good bye to everyone.

I am not someone who likes to talk about my feelings. I don't do the whole showing people I care thing. So now I'm really trying to open up and let the people in my life know that I care about them. It's really hard. So many times I can't find the words. I'm not even sure exactly what most of the people in my life mean to me.

The book I'm reading right now is helping me to deal with it though. Thich Nhat Hahn, The art of Power. He speaks about being fully present with those you love and really being mindful of the time you spend together. That way when one of you is gone, you won't feel any regret for not expressing your love to them. So thinking about that helps me know that I can show my loved ones how I feel

We've read the same books so often because we're awesome and read awesome books.

But not as awesome as batman. I recently read a book called 'becoming batman', by e. paul zehr. It's the science of training and living like batman. So interesting.
