serendipity

the best part was
pulling down the
shades
stuffing the doorbell
with rags
putting the phone
in the
refrigerator
and going to bed
for 3 or 4
days.

and the next best
part
was
nobody ever
missed
me.

Sister

I want to write something for you. I want to write so eloquently and simple as i could possibly get because I want this so much for you.

You are a beautiful person. you are one of, if not the most, the most deserving person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, growing, and living with. You try and try and try so hard to achieve so many things, and try and try so hard to fulfill what duties are bestowed upon you. I know it’s been less of a road than it is a struggle, but I hope that you see the kind of changes and beauty that presents itself with each passing moment.

Moments will come when it gets so dark, so hard that you let it get the best of you. Moments in life when things are so much harder than it should be, but please, I’m begging you to remember this: remember that you deserve to smile, you deserve to feel content, that you are someone worthy of that. I can’t always be there and even if I was, I can’t promise that I can do anything to help the situation. But I need you to think so hard about this that it makes your brain hurt.

Our family might not be much, it might not be picture perfect. But you have to allow yourself some room…to breath, to laugh, to enjoy yourself before regret is too late. Your life may seem like it’s not much or insignificant at times, but trust me, it’s far more important than you could even fathom.

There is so much love for you, and you have so much love to give, and there is finally something truly magical about what life has for you. You are a mother, you are someone’s entire world. You’re a daughter, a sister, a wife. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

Find your peace, find your happiness. But in the mean time, don’t weigh yourself down. Let yourself be happy. And if you aren’t, change it. Give yourself the chance to breathe easy.
