Itโs not really the love that I envy, itโs the trust. The feeling that no matter how bad you screw up, there is always someone who will accept you and love you for who you are; not because they have to, just because they canโt not love you.
Cassia LeoLife has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity.
Cassia LeoSometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.
Cassia LeoBecause sometimes you have to suffer without the things you want now so you can have everything you need later.
Cassia LeoIt's not our mistakes that define us. It's the lessons we learn that show our true character.
Cassia LeoFear is crippling. Fear of the future can convince us that there is no way out and nothing is ever going to get better. Fear is blinding; it can make us miss the warning signs flashing right in front of our eyes. It can also make you miss those brilliant flashes of color, when the world isn't so gray. But, if you think about it, being afraid isn't such a bad thing. Because fear is a reminder that you still have something to lose. Something worth holding onto.
Cassia LeoSometimes, you just have to reassure the ones you love in precise language that you'll always be there. Sometimes words are enough.
Cassia LeoThe relentless pull of love is a thousand times harder to fight than the tides. If youโre lucky, youโll make it out before you drown. If youโre even luckier, youโre pulled under just long enough to wash away the sorrow. If youโre really lucky, like me, you resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside you.
Cassia LeoThere are moments in life, and they happen so infrequently that they tend to really stand out, when life hands you the gift of perspective. Sometimes, we forget to show our appreciation. Sometimes, we get our priorities mixed up. And, sometimes, we forget how far weโve come. But life always has a way of nudging you to remind you about these important things.
Cassia LeoFamily is not always the people with whom you share DNA. Sometimes, family is the person who fights the hardest for your happiness.
