Pain consumes us. It lingers in the deepest crevasses of our bones, affecting the way we think, feel, and act. It affects how we sleep, eat, talk, interact, work, and socialize. It sets up camp and threatens to make our heart its new home.

It’s okay to have days when you sit and cry endlessly, when you break down from loneliness, when you collapse on your bedroom floor because the thought of getting through another day without him is just too much. 

Let this be the year the world stands in utter amazement as you grow into who you always were meant to be, radiating with a light that no one can take away from you.
