“Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m grateful for that.”

Maybe I will miss the comfort of my own home when I fly away to a new one to make it my own. I will miss how the light used to pour into my room in the evenings, or how I used to take a shower while those sunrays soaked my body more than the water ever did. I will miss watching myself act out music videos in the bathroom mirror while I'm taking a shower. I may miss the cold breeze of early winter and the hot showers I took then. But one thing I know for sure, is that I will try to find beauty wherever I go.
Whatever space I fill, wherever in the world that may be, I will always find things to be grateful for. I will find beauty in mundane activities.
That is the promise I'm making to myself inorder to feel alive, and not just be it.

Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you can't survive... it's the thing that makes you better than you used to be.

“ August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time. ”
