Searched for yourself

 

Dear deep feeler,

                                             

You are braver than most. For in a world where it is

cool to be cold, it is not easy to always be the one

who cares the most. When you walk into the world

with an open heart, you must be prepared to bleed for

your courage. For there are so many people with

sharp edges that will cut you deeply when you

attempt to piece them back together. There are so

many places that seem too harsh and too gray for

someone with as soft a gaze as you.

You are stronger than most. For no matter how

many times you have been let down, how many

times you have searched for yourself in others

and found nothing. You refuse to give up. It

requires strength to keep taking another step, 

even if you don't know if you're on the right 

way. There is nothing more powerful than to keep

giving, even if you are promised nothing in return.

You are softer than most. More vulnerable,yes, but

also more resilient. You have tendency to see the

beauty, even in endings. You have a way of planting

seeds in your wounds to one day rise a garden. You

allow the world to touch you, to paint you, to even

change you, yet you stay so authentic. Wherever

your path leads you, hold on to this.

 Your bravery. Your strength. Your softness.

For the world needs it. And you wouldn't be you

without it.
