I guess my brain works in the same sort of way that I roll my r's. 

Hit or miss.

Does it mean that I feel that much more? Less? Or that half the time where I cannot roll my r's makes me any less cuban, and I have to laugh along to "gringa" the same way we make fun of girls at Starbucks? 

A lot of the time I can forget the thoughts that warn me that I'm running out of time. A lot of the time I can remember that most of the people I know are equally as unsure as I am. Of everything. 

Most of the time, it helps to know I'm not alone in whatever game my brain decides to play daily. In doing so, I become some sort of safety net. Stable enough to fall back on.

She's got it all figured out. 

This isn't a pity party.

I like being dependable. 

Sometimes I even believe that I can look up at the night sky and understand my place in all of this. There's a lot of credit to give to a girl who knows it's all in her brain. 

I guess for that I'm grateful. 

But it's hard to be a safety net, because now I'm only getting caught up in myself. 

Here I am.

Absorbing every single tear.

memory.

fear.

Trying to distinguish whether it's my eyes watering or yours.
