Perhaps we can’t always find light in the face of death or loss. Perhaps sometimes, death is just an ending. A fragile, heart-wrenching ending. 

Know that your actions create hope. 

I don’t think our hearts are built to let our loved ones go so easily. 

You can’t put into words how painful it will be to lose them. 

I missed you. And I still miss you. But I learned that it was more painful to question our friendship and to question myself than it was to realize that sometimes people come and go, and that this is just part of life.

I forgive you.

We are afraid to care because caring means putting our hearts on the line. And the concept of letting others affect us deeply is terrifying.

So why do I try so hard to be “normal?” Why do I push myself so much when I feel like crap 70-80% of the time?
