if you are going to cry today, cry now. sit here, read this piece and weep with me. tell me why your heart hurts so much today. tell me, is it a broken one? a shattered one? a soft one growing hard? are you afraid of what your heart will do? let me take your hands into mine, let me tell you that it is okay. that you are okay. that even if you do not feel okay, you will be okay. tell me what weighs on you, tell me what drags your soul through the muck. let me carry your burdens for a moment, let me reassure you as i do. perhaps i can make you feel better, even if only for a second, i will try. baby, let the tears come, for every tear you hold back is a problem you won’t let go. so take a minute, take as long as you need, cry with me. let the hardness melt away for just a second, your softness looks exquisite on you. you are okay. if not now, soon. give me your hand, i promise i’ll be gentle. i promise you are not alone. and now- you and i, we will take this next step together. we are going to make sure that today, you make a small step forward. on three, okay? one, two, three. there you go! i am so, so proud of you.
small steps. |(morsus engel)| (via actuates)
