well, darling.

i wanted to compose a piece where i violently spewed my feelings

with such a ferocity that all anybody could do for me was sit and wait

until the storm settled into a gentler force.

but before i embarked on this,

i turned on my music player and one of my all-time favorite songs played,

and i just could not complete my task.

the love that encased me when i first listened to this song

completely obliterated all feelings of remorse and sadness.

i ended up singing along and tapping my foot to the songs’ rhythm.

there is a point to this, babe.

and though my realization was so obvious,

i realized i had still not come to terms with it.

we focus so much of our time to release the pressure of our despair and lamentations,

that we lose all sight of the little happy moments that occur around us.

and that is exactly what i was doing.

i was just thinking of myself,

of giving in to self-pity and burying myself deeper into the void that were my emotions.

you might be going through the same,

or you might not.

but there might be somebody in your life that maybe is.

i just ask you to be there,

to be a soothing presence in their life,

because going through this alone makes it absolutely strenuous to overcome.

whatever the case may be,

i just want to tell you, dear,

that we will get through this,

that we will see the world as beautiful as it truly is,

and that we will love once more.
