little victories

the lift doors open and immediately, i feel at home, even though im still a few feet away from the warmth inside.

its the first time in a long time that i dont feel like im looking from the outside in. accompanied by boisterous laughter some of us will swear can be heard from 11 floors below, the familiar smells of curry, grilled chicken and roti prata greet me. little cousins who seem to grow a little more everytime we meet rush up for a hug, a cradle swing. i kiss hands, and say my hellos, my how-are-yous, we're-holding-up-okay, yes-we-miss-them-all-them-time. we talk, we eat, we laugh, followed by promises of support, banners and votes at my revealing of idol hopes.

then i glow, inside out. things will change, but not this. not the comfort, not the love, not the bonds - not family.
