Zephrun’s Imperium

I have been sad for so long that happiness still feels like being on an alien planet. A dream. This can't be natural, can it?

But it is. It is so real. 

And yeah the storm will come again. 

But my mind - the place I have been assigned to live out my life in - is no longer such a cold, dark place. Because I have learned that you gain nothing by not being kind to yourself and that a future built on a past of self-loathing is not nearly as bright as one built on self-love. 

Life doesn't pull punches. Life is cruel and cold and strewn with glass shards. 

But there will always be people with Ridiculously Warm hands to pull you up. 

And one day, the sun will rise, and your shards will shimmer in the dawn. 

And maybe being a freak isn't so bad after all. 

And maybe the only one you aren't enough for every second of every day is yourself.

And maybe Love really is the most powerful force on earth. 

And maybe humanity is really beautiful. 

And maybe the only people who need to remember you are the ones you care about because who needs a legacy anyway?

If you're going through it... I'm sorry it's hard right now. The world is better for having you in it and even though nothing will ever excuse what's happening or what's happened... I am proud of you for every breath you take. Do more of what you love, spend more time being around your friends, and stay in the moment. 

Have a lovely week, everybody.
