No matter how many times you say and say you don’t miss him
the warmth of his arms around you will still remind you of the
very first time he told you he loved you.
And even though your same day is repeated over and over you are still
allowed to feel the uncanny joy at the cleansing feeling of a new day
that the near hour you spend in the shower brings.
Remember, that if you're happy, your friends should be too, and they can
be and they cannot be. But so can you, the validity of your
happiness is never reflected in the reactions of others and you can
still be a blushing bride regardless of whether or not you are
blushing or a bride as long as you feel that way.
Now, you don’t ever have to live your life based on the opinions of others
and if they stare they stare and you should feel nothing but life
because you’re you and you’re living it despite someone who told
you no.
And when Christmas time comes around be happy, or sad, or angry or
whatever you want because emotions mean you're feeling and feeling
whatever way you are means you're experiencing and if experiencing
makes you happy then do so and even if it doesn’t do so anyway.
To be honest I can’t believe anyone’s truly lived without taking risks but
then again maybe they have but is that really living? There’s nothing
wrong with making the first move and if he’s not manly enough to
do so please show him how woman you can be.
And Next time you look at yourself in the mirror and don’t like what you
see change it! Put in on, make it bigger, cut it off because no one else’s
opinion really matters other than your own and until your reflection
reflects that happiness you long to see don’t stop.
Remember to congratulate your friends and your enemies and everyone
so that when you’ve accomplished something bigger — and you will
accomplish something bigger— they’ll have a basis on which to act
upon.
Finally take every time he put you down as a victory meaning he feels
threatened by what you’ve accomplished, forgive him every time he
does though but make him work every time more so.
Spend every moment together as if it were your last because life’s too
short to wait around for him to pick up the slack and know that he
may be mad when you do, but he’ll always prefer it over losing you,
so be happy, be sad, be hopeful, be mad because happiness is
what you make it.
