An Everyday Reminder

Hey… you are… loved

It might be from the person that you kiss over and over again and call yours.. and that would be pretty great. Sometimes things don’t work out like that though, and that’s okay. I mean, who knows? You’re best friend could love you too. Maybe not in the way that the person who kisses you does, but they love you in their own unique way, that you can’t get from anybody else, and that’s good too.

Too many times we fall into “O, Woe is me” and get trapped in a pit of self despair lit with candles screaming “I don’t care” paired with a healthy side of scared, to die alone. But that’s just so ridiculous. From parents, to friends, to ride or dies to the ends, they love you, it’s true. The only people who do convince yourself otherwise don’t really give a shit about you, but THEY do. You fool. The sad part is sometimes you’re the one that doesn’t give a shit about yourself, so get down from that shelf, and get some help, before that self begins to melt, do you remember when you felt?… it was beautiful. Absolutely breathtaking. Like a cosmos filled with purples and greens filling the skies, please all of you close your eyes and imagine it with me.

I’m serious. Close your eyes, please for me. Now just imagine. Imagine your soul floating off in these deep colors, with the hands of those that love you keeping you afloat. This is what life is. You’ll float as long as you drown out the sounds of the people saying you’ll never make it, don’t let their weight get the better of you, cast it down like an anchor to root you in the present, but it’ll never pull you under, because the voices of love are thunderous to help pull you from under, thus floating you to the top of your wondrous soul, making you feel whole, lighting up that fire like coals, oh trust me there are people that love you. How do I know?

Because I do… I love you. And you. And you. And you, and everyone who has ever believed they are not good enough because of the stuff other people have bluffed, trust… me. You will always be enough. You will always be loved.
