You are everything! You are made of stardust, you are part of the universe.
You are a trace of everyone who has ever crossed your path. You are mom and dad's laughter and sister's support and brother's love. You are every friend you've ever had and every person you've ever lost. You are the teacher who inspired you and the coach who challenged you. You are the first person you loved and the last person who promised you that you would never fall again. You are all those people who haven't had the chance to meet you yet. You are everything!
You are anxiety and uncertainty. You are jealousy, you are a mess of your own making. You are afraid. Fear of the future, of loneliness, fear of falling, of failure. The fear that you are never enough.
You are rage and contempt. You are the injustice that you witnessed, and you are the helplessness that you felt at the same time. You are the people who disrespected you and you are the friend who betrayed you. You are a stranger. You are the bitterness you felt when someone left you, the numbness to the pain.
You are fear and regret. You are the sadness you felt as you watched the suitcase that held your heart close. You are a despair that sometimes wraps around you, such that you can barely breathe. You are the tears running down your face and mixed with raindrops. You are the sadness you don't want to talk about, you are all the ways you try to hide it. You are all the masks you cover your face with. You are emptiness and loneliness when you wait for love. You are the past that you cannot fix, and you are the apology that comes from the heart. You are everything that has ever hurt and broken you.
But, you are everything.
You are medicine. You live. You are every wave you've seen crash into the shore and every sunset you've watched. You are a sunny, rainy, snowy and windy morning that you appreciate because you woke up in it. You are the afternoon walk, you are the cold air that you inhaled deeply. You are all the little things you did on the hard days to help you move forward. You are the time you took for yourself, the time you did your best to be enough for someone.
You are growth. You are a reflection of your thoughts. You are a hug that warms your soul. You are the child inside you and you would still like to jump in puddles. You are a naive heart in love that defies reason. You are the thought of someone who won't go away.
You are the pain you allowed yourself to feel instead of running away from it. It's the moment you come to terms with her. You are all the people you opened up to and you are all the shoulders you allowed yourself to cry on until you ran out of tears. You are the peace you felt when the weight of pain lifted and you allowed vulnerability to take its place.
You are hope. You are the moment when you realized that every day you hurt a little less and that for the first time in a long time you laughed and felt fantastic. You are happiness. You are the goal and you are the power you need to conquer them. You are a diary in which you have written your dreams. You are a dream you lose and a dream you achieve.
You're a first date and all its awkwardness. You are the first kiss. You are someone's everything. You are a child's smile and a sleepy afternoon nap. You are ticklish. You are every moment that takes you to the next day. You are patience and you are the time that you allow to assemble you, to assemble all your broken pieces into an imperfect whole. You.
You are HERE. You are EVERYTHING. You are imperfect. You are love!
