Armor

There is always beauty in the breaking.

I wasnโ€™t raised to fight my battles with my head in my hands, and my knees buckled under me.

It wasnโ€™t until I discovered this was armor, and shame is not of me.

There is beauty in the breaking, and revelation within the finale.

My dear,

There is revelation waiting for you in the healing.

Trust that the same way the sun kisses the moon, and the ocean brushes against the shore, that there is more.

Believe that you are here for things greater than you.

Love,

Lily

This is a love letter addressed to those who are fighting battles the world knows nothing about. You're not fighting in vain, keep going the light will seep through your window again.
