...and I learned I can resew hearts without being a surgeon...how to stitch wounds without stitches
how to build rainbows during rainstorms and how to pick up shattered pieces without cutting myself again...
I learned that each snowflake, fades and dies but always feeds the next
and blunted kitchen knives still cut supper vegetables....
I learned you're allowed to be be a flower on the ground... you don't have to reach the stars.... you don't have to dream about Mars if you're fine living on Earth.
It's okay living in moonlight... while searching for light and living in shadows because spotlights are too bright
I learned you don't have to be perfectly fine to be entirely okay... and not being okay is okay too...

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
