My darling, One day we will walk together and it will start to downpour. But we will not run for cover. We’ll stick our tongues out to catch the heavy raindrops. Together we will be brave and face the storm, no matter how piercing the sheets of rain or how deafening the thunder. Together we’ll survive the darkness, squeezing each other’s hands as tight as we must to make it through this raging, screaming world.

Z.M., Letter #19 to you, wherever you are. (via wnq-writers)

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
