You know, I..went to the women’s public bath until I was eight years old.

Got home to find my Christmas care package from my parents waiting for me, and amidst all the treats’n’snacks was this cutie.

It made me laugh not just because my parents still think of me as “their little girl,” but also because it used to be tradition for “Santa” to leave a toy by my bed while I was sleeping so when I woke up, I’d be entertained until my parents were ready to face Christmas Day.

It also delighted me because I had mentioned to Mum while we were at DLP how beautiful I thought “Vaiana” was (because it’s not “Moana” in Europe) and how I loved that it came with her chieftess headdress.

Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that you have parents who pay attention to even the silly things you say, and who want to give you something that serves no purpose except to bring you joy.

Is there anyone out there, from our Blue Night family, that is crying alone tonight? Not crying out of pity for something or someone, but instead because they cannot help asking why they are living in the way that they are? Is there anyone that is feeling sentimental or guilty, needlessly? Don’t be like that. I hope that you believe that these bitter days of crying alone will prove to be the most beautiful days of your life. You’ll realize, with time, that your life is actually pretty alright. I promise you. In fact, I’ll write you a guarantee! The most beautiful thing in all the world is right now. This moment. You. Don’t ever forget that.
