you matter.
in so many ways, this is the most important thing i will ever tell you.
for the times when joy is an easy thing.

Paolo Raeli
for the times when nothing touches you but sadness.
you with your grief and your sorrow.
you with your fathers nose and untamed hair.
you with your secrets.
you with your anxiety.
your little quirks and oddities.
your yesterday and your tomorrow.
all of the things you carry and all of the things you have finally put to rest.
there are those who will venture to undermine the importance of your intimate reality.
it is my greatest hope that these people will be few and far between.
still, in every sentence i have ever written i have tried to tell you one singular truth.
there are still extraordinary things to be discovered.
in the world, vast as it is.
in your heart, as strong and mighty as it beats.
