This is Fruitycake. Some days, you stand up straight. You stand up tall. You stand up for what you believe in and who you are.
If you can do that today, wow.
You are amazing. Sometimes you just sit.
You can’t be amazing every day like Brickle was. It is just not humanly or doggedly possible.
I know this for a fact. I had one of those days yesterday.
I didn’t feel my best or most confident. There were a lot of things making me nervous. Persons on the path to that Portofino place walking too slow. Or workers with ladders. There was mud in spots. And I didn’t feel like dealing with any of it. My confidence really fell down.
But that wasn’t the only thing that fell down. Back at home, a building fell down over the cistern. It crumbled. And cracked.
And when Bpy Person opened the door, it fell down. Really fell down. Even though it was made of bricks, it gave way to time. And the rain of the last few weeks.
It reminded me of me, actually. Some days I feel strong and I remember what Brickle taught me.
But some days, everything bothers me. Especially my inner thoughts reminding me I was a stray dog and I don’t know what I’m doing in this Italy place. That maybe I shouldn’t be here. Do you ever feel less than?
Girl Person was feeling very down yesterday too. And I suppose I made myself sick worrying. So I get medicine and soup today to recover. Rebuild. Redo my happy. Build my confidence.
Our weak days don’t define us though. This I do know. We all will have those days when the world seems too big. And we crumble. But if a building can be rebuilt, so can you. So can I.
