my dear
i know you are hurting.
i know the world has broken you, worn you out, beaten you when you are already bruised.
you are tired. you are done. you want it all to stop.
but, my love, please listen
give life a second chance
there are so many things that you will miss.
you will miss your family loving you, holding you.
you will miss laughing with your friends until your drink comes up your nose.
you will miss running into the ocean, the feel of the sky on your body.
you will miss the sunsets.
you will miss wishing upon stars and birthday candles.
you will miss making shapes with the clouds.
you will miss blowing bubbles. making shapes with your shadow.
you have such a beautiful future ahead of you.
Your first apartment
finding the love of your life.
having kids maybe?
all of the future pets you’ll own
the amazing career you will have
it gets better, baby. please stay around to see it.
run barefoot on the grass
read books under trees.
make sandcastles.
dance, in the rain, in the shower, in your bedroom, at parties.
try new foods
discover the world
sing in the backseat of your friends car
give yourself a second chance.
you deserve it.
give your life another chance.
