Dear You
Dear you, Life hit you like a thunder when you least expected it. You were fighting your own battles, and that’s when you had to fight battles you didn’t even know existed. You fought — sometimes you hid, sometimes you showed valor. But it broke you in every form possible — made you angry, sad, isolated, depressed, anxious, fatigued, and finally tried to take yourself. But somehow, each time, you came back. That’s your one saving grace — you went down a lot, even further than ground, but each time you got up, even if it was slow. You lost a lot, but you gained a sense of clarity, groundedness, and depth you couldn’t have gained any other way. Like we say — something that’s cast in fire won’t fade in sunlight. Now it’s your time to shine. So shine on, you crazy diamond.
