We are all so
hopelessly,
and painfully
lost.
Maybe I’m wrong
and there’s a few exceptions.
But this is what I have seen.

We all have our faults.
Our fatal flows.
Our hamartia.
And yet,
they are all so beautiful.
I have come to believe that our greatest weakness
is often our most redeeming quality.

See him over there?
He has some anger issues and lacks control.
Oh how it gets him in trouble.
But you know what else it does?
You always know what he’s thinking
and he will defend his friends and his ideals with an uncanny ferocity.

See her?
She’s shy and maybe a little insecure.
But guess what?
She is gorgeous
and if she knew how gorgeous she was,
I think I would hate her.
That shy insecurity contributes to a quiet, humble beauty.
I don’t know a single person who dislikes her.

So be proud of those flaws.
Show them off.
Think of them in a different light
because they may just be what saves you.
