She fell in love too, and a lasting one. But it was different. Because it wasn’t a person that she fell in love with. She fell in love with cities and towns, oceans and waves and rivers, sunrises and sunsets, rain and sunshine. The rainbow they brought. She ached for adventure and desired nothing but happiness. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and never regretted it. She lived life to the fullest and cherished everything that the universe had to offer. Because one day, all she had to look back on was the memories.
Even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.
Believe me. Beauty is the face of who cried and now smiles, beauty is the scar on your knee since you fell when you were a kid, beauty is the circles when love doesn’t let you sleep, beauty is the expression on the face when the alarm rings in the morning, it’s the melted makeup when you have a shower, it’s the laughter when you make a joke you’re the only one who can understand, beauty is meeting his gaze and stopping understanding, beauty is your gaze when you see him, it’s when you cry for all you paranoias, beauty is the lines marked by time. Beauty is what we feel in the inside which also shows outside us. Beauty is the marks the life leaves on us, all the kicks and the caresses the memories leave us. Beauty is letting yourself live.
You’ll find yourself when you are supposed to. In the wrong or in the right place. In this space or in the next. Today or tomorrow. There will always be things happening to you. And they will always be changing you. And all at once, the search will be beautiful.
Remember, the making of a butterfly is one to remember. But we all pay attention to it’s beauty.
So darling, don’t waste your life in the same boring town, go explore, travel and fall in love with the world. The Earth is beautiful and so are you
