Silence, when it’s awkward is the enemy of everyone.
Words, when they’re hateful can make you feel like a child again.
Thoughts, when they’re racing can send you over the edge.
But these are the things that make the better times the best.
These are the things that being faced, raise you above the rest.
Tears caused by you because of something you said.
Laughter caused by a mistake you made years ago.
Things that never go away, remembered till this day.
These are the things that remind us that we’re alive.
Never will we trade these things, for they make us who we are.
Hope, when it’s outrageous and unfounded.
Luck, when it was needed the most.
Love, after all the years of being alone.
Safety, from all the bad things that happened before.
These are the things that are gained from weathering the storm.
