It’s almost 5 am. I remember the weeks I stayed up this late just to talk to you. To hear your voice, and see your smile. Crazy how a few bad mistakes and bad timing change your world. Regardless, today I’m not staying up for you. I’m staying up for someone far more special. Me. I’m staying up to watch the night to turn to day. To watch the blackest night, turn into my favorite shade of purple, before turning pink and yellow, and finally breaking into a blue sky. To remind myself even my worst day is only 24 hours long, and that the night will always turn to day. As a reminder- that I can tackle whatever is thrown my way. All by myself.

The Purpose of Sunrise
