I've now typed out five beginnings to this post and then promptly deleted them. I don't know what I want to write about right now. I don't know how I'm feeling. I have a few thousand thoughts fluttering around in my mind, and sorting them out just seems impossible. Maybe a letter, a love letter to... Anyone who is down.
Broken hearts,
You are down, beaten and broken and bruised beyond belief. But do not give up, ever. Know when to walk away, yes. Know when enough is enough, yes. But never let go of hope. There is someone out there worth the time, and the struggle, and the tears and the pain. They're going to be amazing. They'll lift you to new heights, make you smile bigger smiles than you knew your face was capable of. You'll feel like a fool smiling like you will, but in you're eyes you will be nothing but the beautiful human being you are. And when you find it, I have to believe we just know. It might not be realized right away, but you will. And it'll knock you on your feet and take your breath away and you will never ever forget. And that single moment, the few times it happens in your life, will make all the rest of it worth while. I once had my breath taken away, time stopped for what could have been an eternity, and nothing else mattered but that single second in time. Once. And whenever I want to quit, whenever my faith in humanity is gone, I remember that moment. How everything was perfect... His smile, how he smelled, the way he looked into my eyes under the stars and our lips met for one brief moment. If moments like that exist in the world, the rest of it is worth enduring. We all clearly want to enjoy our whole life, but when things get rough do not discredit the moments. You are beautiful. You are strong. There is good in this world. You can make it through it all. Just... Believe. As hard as it can be, I always believe. And never forget, someone always loves you. Always.
