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.
Autumn
