The sun has to set but it rises again

Everybody has some level of darkness inside them and the potential to use it for things too scary to even think of. I think that’s what scares me the most about people. Where there is light there’s got to be a shadow lurking around. You can never really and truly know anyone. No matter the space and memories you share there is always a part of them that you do not know about and more often than not, its better that way. Some of us grow up learning to hide because there are experiences that have taught us that and because we like to avoid being vulnerable. Some of us never got that lesson and we expose ourselves perhaps a tat bit more and we are bruised and broken almost all the time. We all are different souls reflecting differently. And sometimes the knowledge of this makes it all that much harder to let anyone in and even harder to let them stay. And I think this is what saddens me the most.

What’s beautiful though is acceptance. It’s magical how people choose to oversee the minor and major glitches and love people for just the way they are, how people let others in with arms wide open inviting along whatever they hold inside them. It’s not an easy task to know that these people you love have the potential to hurt you the most and still receive them smiling. It’s not easy because things can and do go wrong sometimes and you are left with scars that will probably last your life but it’s beautiful how you revive and nurture yourself back from the broken heart and still chose to believe. Then the scars won’t look ugly because you have accepted it to be a part of you, as another chapter added, as another story survived, as yet another battle won. I love how people can look up smiling all cold and drenched to the dark clouds that throw them rain but choose to see and believe in the silver lining instead. And hence, this is the rarest, the most beautiful and the bravest thing I have ever seen and the thing I desperately want to experience. I know it is rare but hey true magic always is. Just don’t stop believing for there is always a silver lining.
