You came into my life & showed me what it was like to be silly. To open yourself up & express your inner being. You were free & hidden all at the same time. You were changing with every passing day & that is what made everyday different & unique. You saw the world as a masterpiece. A beautiful, ever-changing piece of art that would always seem to surprise us & show us what it was truly like to live...to breath in this life.
You looked at the world differently, you craved something that was unseen by most. You searched & walked & desired to know more. --never let that desire die inside of you. Never stop searching.
Be a seeker.
Be a dreamer.
Be a wonderer.
Be you, your perfect little uniqueness.
You loved to climb. If it was within your distance you wanted to climb it. You wanted to search it out & see what was right over that ledge. Or mountain. You didn't want to see things from the ground, you wanted to see them from mountain sides & valleys & through walks & journeys, no matter where they might take you.
You were always a curious one. You wanted to know & you had a unique desire to read & find crazy, beautiful things through books. The written word is so important & lost by many these days, but you? no. You preferred holding a book in your hands. & looking at the world through that person's eyes. The author. The exquisite person that wrote those words on paper for us all. You enjoyed reading the raw & real thing. That's rare, never lose that about yourself. Always desire the written word & strive to seek out the truth.
Be different.
Be crazy.
Be beautiful.
Be radical.
You were a friend, a sibling, a child. & you were {ARE} blessed. You are surrounded by love. Do you see it? I hope so. Turn around, seek it out. Step out & give all the possibilities you have to offer. Don't hold back, don't fear. --surround yourself with family, even if you fear that it may not be the strongest at times, make it strong. Hold it together. Believe in it lasting. I believe in it.
When I look at your family I see laughter.
--I see love.
I see a family that cares.
I see a family that may not always show it in the right way, but deep down inside, i see love & adoration for each other. Every time I've been around it's never failed me to see the love you all share.
That's something worth keeping & taking care of.
Don't run from who you are or what you were born into. You were born here, at this moment for a reason. For a purpose. You were formed by God's own hands & molded into who you are today & placed in this home...for. a. reason.
I'm proud of who you've become. You've been challenged & you've grown up so fast. I know that in your heart you're still a child, that's because I see it every once in awhile. I see the kid you're still longing to be. Wishing you could still be at time. Don't regret your past, just make the most of your present. Of who & where you are, right now. At this moment. Don't let this moment pass. Don't forget to let your heart live.
You know how to giggle. Moment when I see that true, genuine smile & laugh come across that face, those moments I capture & secure in my heart. Laughter has become apart of you. Never let someone steal that from you. If there ever comes a point in you life where you've realized you haven't laughed in a long time & you've lost that part of you. run. Go find that part of yourself again.
You believed in waiting.
You. are. beautiful.
You are someone that dreams & holds back often. You dream with your heart but then your mind tells you to wait. --one day, let your heart do the talking. Don't be stupid about it, but just let go. release yourself. be free.
I think you're running to find acceptance. To find what you know you've wanted all along. To find the path that will lead you home again. To find yourself. Do that. seek out the person you know you once were. All these qualities...they have not died. Some have went in hiding, but every season has it's challenges. Every season has the good & the bad. That doesn't mean you give up, that just means you try harder.
You are craziness when you want to be. You are a story just waiting to be told.
You are a novel just waiting to be printed & put on a bookshelf.
You are a piece of art just waiting to be plastered on a wall.
You are a sunrise just waiting to rise.
You are a mountain just waiting to be climbed.
You are radiant, beautiful wonder just waiting to be sought out.
You are, simply you.
{& remember, don't let someone change something about you, for their own personal benefit. Let them love you for everything you are. You're unique in your own little way.}
----------------
this is my place to be free & write. To explore the wonders of my heart as I'm pouring it on 'paper.'
{remember me.}
grace.
