i know… what it is like to love someone so much that your heart aches.

i know… that there is beauty in the details (like eyelashes and soft little fingernails and wet curly hair)

i know… that i’m stronger now than i ever knew i could be

i know… that i make a lot of mistakes

i know… that pretending otherwise only wears me out

i know… that fresh bread tastes better when you have someone to share it with

i know… that light is magic, and catch lights in big brown eyes can totally make my day

i know… that time passes so very quickly, even though some days seem unbearably long

i know… that i still have a lot of growing up to do

i know… that forgiveness is easier for me than holding a grudge

i know… what it truly is to be needed and loved

i know… that it’s ok to be different

i know… that a good playlist makes life better

i know… that i’m so very blessed and lucky
