Your Light in the Pitch-Black Eclipse
Who do you rely on the most? Who stabilizes your balance while you walk the tightrope? Who supports you as you face the thin line you must cross every day without falling into the dark abyss? Who brings you laughter and comfort packaged into a box with pink wrapping paper on your bluest days? Your sole bright star in the dark night. Who shows you guidance and love? Individuals who fit these traits do not have to be your closest; sometimes they can be unexpected. For me, there is a small number of people that I want to thank.
You notice when others just ignore
Thank you for being aware when I am down; you are truly one of the few who give me a thumbs-up from across the room and care about how I feel. You don’t brush it aside; you set it as a priority.
I feel safe around you
Thank you for allowing me to relax in your presence, to lean on you, and to rant about any subject in the world. I could be rumbling how unicorns should not be extinct, and you still listen intently.
You smile for me during my hardest times.
Thank you for sending me your giddy smiles and ridiculous statements filled to the brim with unnecessary laughter. You include me in anything, and the sound of your joy is permanently embedded in me at this point.
For me, personally, my light is a couple of friends to whom I can tell anything, and I feel the need to express it here. Thank you for being the first to notice when I tremble or lose balance. Thank you for holding my hand and squeezing it tight so I know you’re here.
Thank you.
