The Road Between

Sometimes it’s not about finding someone to love you. It’s about recognizing when someone already does.

An Open Letter to Mum and Dad

Dear Mum and Dad,

There are days I do not say how much I love you, but I am always thinking it. There are days I do not thank you for all the things you have done for me, but I am thinking it. In the times I have needed parents, you have been my parents. In the times I needed friends, you have been my greatest friends. Where there is love and there is kindness, I think of you. Where there is strength and where there is guidance, I think of you. Thank you for bringing me into this life, thank you for loving me as a person. Thank you for chasing my dreams alongside me. When I have children, I will give them the same message: be whomever you want to be.

Love,

Your Daughter

It will make sense one day. Why some things happen and why others don’t. You’ve been hurt probably more than you deserve. But the hurt is worth staying alive for. Because you’ll live to see the day that shows you all things pass.
