Dear Diary

• rain

• fresh fruit

• the smell of flowers

• open windows

• canned iced tea

• chocolate cake with pink frosting

• misplaced pencil sharpener

• notebook full of trip plans and ideas

• romance music

• daydreams

Happy End of April!

While we sit through yet another rain/snow-mix-it-will-all-in-the-morning take a moment to soak in the blessing of Daffodils on your dash.

To those who struggle with general sadness and loneliness on the daily;

To those who wish they were more of a risk taker;

To those who are searching for a reason to live;

To those who lost a love or cannot have their love;

To those who seek adventure but don't want to go alone;

To anyone struggling;

And to everyone who needs to hear this:

You are alive and I'm proud of you. To chose to live is to risk our life and it's a choice we have to make daily, for some it's by the second. To die is no risk at all. Their is reason in death, their is no reward for taking away love that another so desperately needs. You may not feel accepted, wanted, needed or that anyone cares and if that is a reality for you, please believe me when I say I care. I need you, I want you. Emotionally in pain and wilting, I accept you. This is why I'm writing this message for you. I am proud of you.

I want to encourage you to be kind and courteous to others even when you don't want, even when they are not nice to you. Be the one who takes that step to a better future even if you don't believe in it. Treat other how you want to be treated, respect yourself how you want others to respect you. Stand up for your well being and things you care about and find peaceful and relaxing. Trust no man and know everyone is in pain of their own and humans are weak in their own will and self control, but have faith that they can be a better person. Have faith that you can be a better person.

It's not easy this risk we take to live. But you are alive and can love and I am proud of you.

I want to run away from the future.

I want to turn back and disrupt our timelines,

Take you out of that summer memory-

And run to that island I went to,

I'll tell you about it on the way, you'll love it.

I promise.

So take my hand and turn the page

Let's write a tale of our own.

When the future comes to find us

All they'll find is a trail of dusty books

About the magic in your eyes

And the mystery of my mind.
