What do you say when words don’t seem like enough? Is it possible to summarize the impact another human being made on you with a few paragraphs?
For you, I’ll try.
Eternal Optimism.
is the first thing that comes to mind. The rest of the world (real and digital) could be full of the most negative, pessimistic, doomsayers you’d ever find but then you’d be there. Their words weighed me down. Yours lifted me up. Encouraged me to keep going. Put a smile on my face and light in my heart and a song in my head (usually one of Taylor’s) .
You weren’t naive. Everything didn’t always go your way. You didn’t assume things would always be happy or easy, but you were intentional about putting a little bit of light into a world that was determined to drag us down into darkness.
Kind.
is the second word that I think of. I think we could all stand to be more like you.
Every time I saw a ✨I smiled. It meant that somewhere, you were posting positivity.
I miss you.
I keep logging in, expecting to see updates from you. Every time I don’t, my heart breaks a little bit more.
Did you know I keep writing to you? Sending messages that you won’t ever be able to answer. I couldn’t bear to see your name get buried in my replies so I keep sending, trying to keep you top of the list.
I wanted you to know.
You were loved.
I won’t forget you. I won’t let you be forgotten.
Today might hurt more, my heart might be heavy, but that won’t be forever. So I’ll keep posting. I might use more lyrics or ✨ to remind myself of you.
I’ll try to spread a little more joy,
a little more kindness,
a little more love.
I hope it’s enough ❤️🩹
