Live. Forgive. Wait. Love.

I want you to be happy. I hope you know this.

I hope when you wake up tomorrow morning you find an uncontrollable smile come across your face.

I hope you find ways to let fear dance through your bones. I hope you find yourself dancing because fear has engulfed you so much you can't help but move. Sometimes fear is change in disguise and sometimes we really need to change.

I hope you find the courage to go into the deepest, darkest corner of your heart and find tears. Let the tears fall to grieve the hurt and pain you find. Grieve, love, you'll feel so much better after. Then once the last tear has fallen, I hope you will sit in your dark corner. I hope you will come to find that your darkest corner does not define you. Embrace it. Accept it. Then go back into the light, never forgetting the darkness.

Truth has a way of knocking us to our knees. It can break us in all the way we never wanted it to. Break anyways. Sometime we have to become broken in order to become whole.

We need freedom, you and I. It is knocking at our door, begging to come in. But with freedom comes surrender. We have to surrender in order to be free. We have to break the chains that have weighed so heavy, I know it feels different being light but different isn't always a bad thing.

Let people invite you in. We can't force people to listen to us. We can't force people to want to spend time with us. Wait. Wait for your invitation, you'll never regret the wait.

Control is only a delusion. We are not in control. We never have and never will be. If you want to love people, truly love them, then you'll find a way to put control in your back pocket and leave it there for good.

Life doesn't always make sense. Sometimes we never get the clear answer we always wanted. Yet, we can still find reasons to smile everyday. If I have learned anything in this life so far it's that good always can be found. Even in the middle of a storm, good can be found.

So no matter how hard life gets. No matter how much your chest and brain want to explode from all the unanswered questions, I hope you find a way to remind yourself that you are in good hands.

Someone loves you for your good and your bad. Someone wants to spend time with you. Someone see's you and wouldn't change a thing about you. Open your eyes, calm your anxiety, they can make us blind and unable to see these types of people standing in front of us.

Most of all, I hope you always find the courage to forgive, no matter how big the hurt, find a way to forgive. Time is shorter than we have ever imagined. Live. Forgive. Wait. Love. Good will come.
