Days can be tense I find myself escaping the drama, the wounded words, the physical battles, the silence that fills the air, by painting pictures in my mind. Pictures of a life I hope to materialize through the pain, pictures of a future where the scars represent our endurance and commitment to ourselves. Pictures of our love withstanding resistance. One day we will place these pictures in the home we call our hearts, where we can smile at our growth and feel childish about our complaints. Your life is the canvas to which only you have the materials to create something beautiful and I hope you do.
