Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim

[emivipers]

I missed you quietly today.

So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.

But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.

say it with me, even if you don’t believe it: 

i will heal and i will flourish. when someone or something hurts me, i will not blame myself. i will not berate myself. i will take what i can from the experience and care for my own needs. i will grow from the pain, i will grow from the pain, i will grow from the pain.
