Define Normal.

There is more to life than him. There are cafes on cozy city corners with vintage chandeliers and that waiter that always smiles at you when you order a chai latte. There are christmas trees that shine through apartment windows and that seventy year old couple across the hall who walk around the park at 9:30 every morning. Rainy Thursdays when you’re awoken by the patter of rain on your roof and Sunday nights when the week is yours to conquer. There’s swimming in the ocean at dusk when the sky is pink and the saltwater is warm. There’s sweet wine to drink with your best friends and karaoke songs to butcher with any willing participant. There are bubble baths after a long day and a clean bed with fresh sheets. There are adventures waiting in some far off country and a boy who will look at you one day like you’re the only person in the damn world. There is more to life than heartbreak.

And even though I know that there’s a ton of stuff ahead I’m so terrified about I can’t breathe sometimes, tonight I can’t help but feel like no matter how hard it gets, everything might just be OK in the end.

You cannot harden your heart to the future just because of your past.

The only thing I really wish to do with my life is to inspire someone. I want to touch someone’s life so much that they can say that if they have never met me then they wouldn’t be the person they are today. I want to save someone. Save them from this cold, dark and lonely world. I wish to be someone’s hero. Someone that people look up to. I only wish to make a change, even if it’s a small one. I just want to do more than exist.
