If Everything Brings Beauty
I say these words out of love.
It took me a long time to realize what had happened.
My body told me what my brain could not.
The damage was far greater than I knew.
It was unthinkable, but it happened to me
because I am strong enough to break the cycle.
It ends with me.
I say these words out of love.
Please be kind to your friends, lovers, and family. Please be kind to everyone.
You do not know how your words will affect someone.
You do not know how unexpressed anger and resentment can feel.
It took me a long time to recover. Love brought me back.
Strive to find compromise.
Strive to listen without thinking of yourself.
We have a chance to facilitate one another’s
happiness, especially now.
If, ultimately, everything brings beauty, may beauty grow from this. Let it be so.
