Be You

It's ok to hurt.

For a while.

As long as you need. 

 

Doesn't mean you're weak.

It means your strength is intangible to the ill-informed

or the just plain stupid

Doesn't mean you're dumb,

or foolish

or absent-minded.

It means you value your heart,

your courage,

and your time

enough to reel when it bleeds

 

Know this

If your time is spent with loved ones,

(no matter how imperfect they might be)

there is no greener grass on the other side

 

Along this amazing, beautiful, brainless, empathetic, tragic journey

We all hurt

In every facet of our lives 

 

and if the wood world around you burns to ashes

Build a better one with richer soil

and titanium walls

for the deepest roots to thrive

for whom you love

 

know that

nobody can take the future away from you

 

So attempt happiness!

be amazing

be here

be weird

be you!
