"The truth is, I want to feel my pain. I want to feel the sadness and the near-burning nostalgia of leaving a place and a people I love, because it deserves it. Everything beautiful that we experience in life, when it suffers or comes to an end, is going to be filled with this kind of aching sorrow. But that is a good thing, because it means that it had significance in your life, that it cannot be easily dismissed like so many other things you let roll off your back. To be sad when the end comes is to pay homage to everything that was great, to all that it gave you, to who you are because of it. And yes, it is “weak” to cry and write letters and talk about your sadness. It is “weak” to rest your head on someone’s chest and welcome being consoled. It is “weak” to focus, at least temporarily, on the pain you feel.
But it is also wonderful. It is a moment in which you feel alive, human, and fully connected to the things that you touch in life. There are few moments where we lose or change or move on from something great, and those moments do make us weak. To be strong and silent in the face of them — to deny that they have touched you and will leave a great absence in your life — is to dismiss its importance. You may find yourself needing the support of friends and family, to be reassured and have your hand held. You may need to be reminded of what is good, and that the pain will subside. You may need to lean on someone. And that’s okay."Chelsea Fagan, It’s Okay To Be Weak Sometimes (via georgiawild)

I will not crash. I will not have a meltdown today. I will not grow cold. I will not run.
I will trust in God’s goodness. I will love them like Jesus. I will let God change my heart.

every kind word. every happy minute of today. every smile that someone passed on to me. every moment of peace. every second I got to be with someone I care about. every second that someone showed that they care about me.
taking none of it for granted.

I sat down at the type writer and all I could think about was this quote. This. Just this. Nothing else. It’s clear. It’s how I spent the better part of the morning dissecting myself with Amy. It’s realizing clear distinctions, taking responsibility and changing what needs to be changed. This.

"
Love Bears all things…It functions as roof beams to protect and shelter those under its care. It puts up with the various imperfections of others. It does not needlessly publicize the failures of others (1st Peter 4:8).
Love believes all things….It assumes the motives of others are pure, rather than presuming the worst in others. At the same time it is not gullible. It trusts without suspicion.
Love hopes all things….It assumes the motives of others are pure, rather than presuming the worst in others. At the same time it is not gullible. It trusts without suspicion.
Love endures all things….It remains under the burden without fleeing the scene. It endures despite the ingratitude, bad conduct, and ordinary problems involved in living with others. It does not complain or become discouraged. When the motives of others are impure, love bears it without resentment.
Love never fails…
"
It does not quit when the going gets tough. It survives everything. It outlasts all failures.Jim Kang
