More Than Words

I usually hate oversimplifications but in this situation I find the use of the word "complicated" an apt choice to describe my life. My mother and I have a flipped power dynamic, I have more meddlesome siblings than I know what to do with, and I'm raising my daughter alone after... well, after a series of unfortunate events. Complicated events.

These days it feels like the only conversations I have are in platitudes and bumper stickers; "hang in there," "we should definitely catch up," "next time, for sure." But after the number of cutting words and broken promises I've suffered, it's hard to believe any kind words anymore. That's why when I meet Cole, Mr. lets-get-a-drink-sometime, I already know that I'm going to need more than platitudes and empty promises. If he wants me like he says he does, then I'm going to need more than words.
