wishing you bright skies and a day filled with happy...

on this day, you read something that moved you

and made you realize there were no more fears to fear, no tears to cry, no head to hang in shame.

that every time you thought you’d offended someone

it was all just in your head and really, they love you with all their heart and nothing will ever change that.

that everyone and everything lives on inside you

and that that doesn’t make any of it any less real.

that soft touches will change you

and stay with you longer than hard ones.

that being alone means you’re free.

that old lovers miss you and new lovers want you

and the one you’re with is the one you’re meant to be with.

that everything you want to happen will happen

if you decide you want it enough.

that every time you think a sad thought

you can think a happy one instead,

and you control that completely.

that the people who make you laugh

are more beautiful than beautiful people.

that your friends are reflections

of the best parts of you.

that you are more than the sum total of the things you know

and how you react to them.

that dancing is sometimes more important

than listening to the music.

that the most embarrassing, awkward moments of your life

are only remembered by you.

that no one judges you when you walk into a room

and all they really want to know, is if you’re judging them.

that what you make and what you do with your time

is more important than you’ll ever fathom.

that the difference between a job and art is passion

and that neither defines who you are.

that talking to strangers

is how you make friends.

that bad days end

but a smile can go around the world.

that life contradicts itself constantly

and that that’s why it’s worth living.

that the difference between pain and love

is time.

that love is only as real

as you want it to be.

that if you feel good, you look good -

but it doesn’t always work the other way around.

that the sun will rise each day

and it’s up to you each day to match it.

that nothing matters up until this point.

that what you decide now -

in this moment -

will change the future forever.

that rain is beautiful.

and so are you.
