In the midst of every darkness, God grants us a point of light that illuminates our path, alleviates its loneliness, and eases the harshness of the journey.
The presence of some people in our lives is a whole new life.
Loyal friends, true brothers, hearts that carry so much love and honesty that they make all our hardships easier.
Hearts that fear for us even from ourselves, that give us unconditional love, concern, and affection.
When we feel lost in the middle of a jungle, we find their hands providing safety, their shoulders providing support, and their chests providing space for all distress.
We find their advice coming from the depths of their hearts and their fear for us from the harshness of life, the fragility of our hearts, and our escape into isolation.
We are the ones who suffer most from the weakness of our hearts and emotions, and they are the weapon that combats our weakness and tries to give us strength with patience, determination, and sincerity.
Our laughter and conversations together bring joy to our hearts.
People who see the beauty in our souls always make us feel like we deserve to be well. We deserve the best in relationships, in feelings, in self-confidence, in taking care of ourselves and protecting ourselves from harm, in everything. We deserve to feel safe. We deserve to receive all the love because our hearts hold nothing but love. May God keep us with kind, sincere, and loving hearts forever.
