one day you are going meet someone who makes everything else seem to fall into place. it’ll probably be unexpected. it may well happen at a strange time in your life, where you can’t imagine how anyone could possibly see you as anything more as this mess of crazy, tangled threads. but they’ll make you realise that you are so much more than the things that have happened to you. they’ll make you feel understood and cared about and special. they’ll make you smile without even doing anything. it will happen, even if you can’t imagine it right now, and it will be so wonderful it will shine a light into the darkest parts of your life.

All my teenage years, I had bottled up anger and grief and promised myself I'd never cry but when I sat down with her hands in my hand and looked her in the eye, all the anger turned into tears. I sobbed for hours and she sat there, rubbing my back. That's when I saw. Growing up is also tearing down walls, it's also letting go of the anger.
