Unrequited Advice

I am apologetic. I am sorry for the things that I never said. I am still trying to figure out what I want with myself, but thus far I know that I am okay. I'm not drowning anymore; it turns out I learned how to swim. My heart still grows heavy and my eyes still do leak, but I am no longer crumbling within myself. Perhaps it is the summer air that's intoxicating me, but I feel content. And I know that I am still a mess and that my hair is always knotty and that my mind is still a labyrinth: but I am whole and I don't want to ever be broken again. So, dear reader, do not wish for sadness. Do not wish for self-loathing or low self-esteem. If you are unhappy, do not sit there immobile, watching your life blow by. Humans are made to feel things and if you have numbness running through your veins then you are merely existing. Let someone close to you, let someone love you. Let the feeling of happiness rush through you. You are my hope and I know that you are more powerful than the forces of the universe. You are made of the blood of your ancestors, and when you were simply a gleaming fleck of faith, the world believed in you. The world still does believe in you, with every step that you take. You have the ability to flood the skies and open the oceans. You are sincerity and integrity. You are yourself, and that is the best that you can be.
