Old Bestfriend

   'There are times when we stop, we sit still. We listen and breezes from a whole different world whisper.'

  'Breath is the power behind all things. I breathe in and know that good things are going to happen.'

  'Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.'

  'Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.'

  These were the quotes Carmen had saved in her old diary. A large notebook, she had from her childhood. The book he, her old bestie had bought for her. 

  It was a simple gift for her 14th birthday, 10 years ago.
