theres a bond you make
when you tell a secret.
when you let someone in.
a bond that works two ways.
a common ground.
a fragile bond.
the harder it is to make...
the easier it is to break.
me and pt talked for a few hours last night....
outside his house ... in the dark. it was good though.
he tells me so much. and he's always like
okay, i'll level with ya... i can talk to you.
it started w/ just youth stuff..
then frustrating youth pastor stuff.
then the whole how-do-you-reach-this-kid deal.
spiritual highs... and lows... etc.etc.etc...
and then..
i need to lose some weight kaylin.
yeah.. me too.
*chuckle* no, you don't.
uhm.. seriously yeah - i do.
now... don't do that, dont start it...
you don't want to get into it. *trust me look*
you don't know a whole lot about me pastor tripp...
i told him a little bit about my eating habits...
just enough to say "ive got freaking issues."
and then he spilled.. really, i mean,
he started talking about his depression...
and he just kept talking about all sorts of crap
he'd gone through. by the end both our eyes were wet,
and it was almost 1am.
kaylin, ive just let you inside.
and an understanding nod was exchanged...
