tombstone.

i feel like a broken record. like i'm repeating the same thing over and over {and over} again.  if you talk to me often enough, you know what i'm talking about. on any given day, on any give hour, i'm known to say:

"my battery's dying"

{usually followed by "i'll plug it in and cal....."}

i swore my tombstone was going to read:

here lies aubry.

and her dead, useless smartphone.

but lately......

i'm spinning another kind of broken record.

it recites

"i knowwwwwwwww"

meaning, all my conversations go like this lately:

"you're falling into the same trap."
"i knowwwwwwww."

or

"you're setting yourself up for the same kind of heartache."
"i knowwwwwwwww."

or

"you walk yourself straight ahead into complete madness everyday."
"i knowwwwwwww."

or

"you have the wonkiest, twistiest of all relationships with so-and-so."
"i knowwwwwwww."

or

"you can do better"
"i knowwwwwwww."

so, dear caring friends of mine:

i appreciate every ounce of wisdom you share.

i knowwwwwwwww you do it out of the bottom of your genuinely loving hearts.

and i knowwwwwwww you love me, even when i'm a little nuts.
