My Dearest Heart,
I know that sometimes I get angry with you for caring too much about people who do not deserve your compassion or for being unable to be selfish. Sometimes, I wish I could be like those people who just go out into the world knowing what they want and just go out there and do it, without letting anything or anyone get in their way. You give me big dreams and excite me about all of the wonderful possibilities life has to offer, however sometimes we put those big dreams on hold to help others. You let the words that others say to you affect you deeply and you over analyze situations situations that are simpler than you make it. Even though sometimes you frustrate me, I would not be the person that I am without you.
Without you, I would not have a joy of helping others or have the ability to listen to others with an empathetic ear. You forgive others and have enough space and understanding for an army of people. Your unique and magical love is limitless because you see the good in everyone and you do not give up on people. Sometimes you get overwhelmed and tired, but you never give up. You are filled with passion and light to burn through the darkness that is often times blanketed over you by hurt. It is known that the bigger, gentler hearts suffer more than those who are more guarded; in this cruel world, a heart like you is sometimes seen as a weakness, but you are a sign of courage.
You are not afraid to let others in and see your beauty, even if sometimes it takes a little patience and understanding more than others are capable of. You understand that others may hurt you and not appreciate your beauty, even though that blanket of darkness may come upon you and temporarily slow you down you remember that your life will shine through it and that you will never stop putting all that you have into life.
People may not understand "why you care so much" or "why you won't let it go" but they do not understand that you will not allow yourself to. Your love and compassion will persist through all of life's obstacles, no matter how badly someone treats you they will always receive your forgiveness. So, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to see the world as a place with great potential and magic. Thank you for bringing the sensitivity and the understanding into a world that desperately needs it. Thank you for believing in me and giving me kind words to speak not only to others, but to myself. Sometimes we hurt more than most can understand, sometimes we feel that dark blanket heavier than ever, however you always bring that strong light of hope and love to keep us pushing through. I did not make you, you made me.
