To the cutest person I will ever know named Natalie, I know you'll be more likely to see this and having this here will help you revisit it over and over again /sniggers/
Not much to say but i just want to thank you for a lovely dinner, and meet up session where we just ate and talked about our lives - it was simple but it's all we need sometimes - and nothing feels quite as special as a humble date like this.
I thank God for letting me know you as well, press on in school and never back down no matter how tough things may get; I am lucky to have your company and presence in my life ♡ :-)

Weary is simply exhausting to be.
Being is simply too weary.

'Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.'

In the end I wasn't really worth believing anyway
In the end how much I struggled amounted to nothing
Trying is as good as nothing

"So wherever you are, I hope you’re happy,
I really do
I hope the stars are kissing your cheeks tonight.
I hope you finally found a way to quit smoking.
I hope your lungs are open and breathing your life.
I hope there’s a kite in your hand
that’s flying all the way up to Orion
and you still got a thousand yards of string to let out.
I hope you’re smiling
like god is pulling at the corners of your mouth.
‘Cause I might be naked and lonely,
shaking branches for bones,
but I’m still time zones away
from who I was the day before we met.
You were the first mile
where my heart broke a sweat.
And I wish you were here
I wish you’d never left."

"In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger, something better, pushing right back."
