Sketches for You and Me 1

Happiness is hard to find. In even the grandiose of things, happiness is hard to find. What more of the simplest of matters. Though we feel there is absence of it, if we continue to look for it, if we continue to wake up and live and love and be nice to the people around us, if we desperately try to breathe, then the happiness we long to see may be just around the corner, or in the flowers in the garden, or in the puddles of water when rain drops; perhaps in the still of the night and in the calm of the morning. If we do not give up on our yearning and we continue to embrace the day, no matter how mundane it is, then perhaps, we will finally find it. Perhaps, even if we do not see it in any thing, perhaps we see it in someone, because in the middle of our finding, we regret to see that we are the happy that another person is also yearning for.

Warmth is when my cold hand holds your cold hand. or when you look at my weary eyes and i feel all the comfort i ever needed. or when you look at me, just me, as i sip my coffee. Warmth is our conversations. warmth is in the silence of our hugs. warmth is sunlight in the dark. Warmth is comfort in pain. You are a butterfly that touches the flowers of spring during winter nights. warmth is the greatest form of security. warmth is you and having you. oh, how i miss your warmth.

You are strong. Your strength lies within your weakness. You do not see it nor feel it or even know it but you are born to conquer this world. You are strong in so many ways. You have to believe that you can do all things you put your mind into. You have to be brave. You have a kind soul, and this will bring you to places that once existed only in your imagination. Your soul is so sincere that brevity will not scare you.. you and your soul. Your kindess and eagerness to help people will keep you going. You will stumble. You will fail. You will cry. You will lose, but remember the very reason why you started, remember the fuel that ignited you to move forward. You will succeed one day. In fact, you might not know it but you have succeeded already. Your small steps are still steps. and steps are movements, and these little tiny movements, when put together and without regard to time, are fragments that make up success. These are time markers that will mold you. You will make it. You may have made it already. You will continue to make it, and one day you will realize that the cries, failures, loses, and wearies are the little steps you decided to take that made you successful today.
