The Other Side of Alive
Wandering through the events of this life, one of the hardest things to keep is that spark of naive wonder at the pretty underneath the ugly. Hiding it is the easiest way to prevent the world from so eagerly stomping it out. Concealing it so thoroughly that its existence remains as only a shadow.
Until you find that person who sees rather than looks. Who embraces all that you are and the more that you’re not while gradually fitting into the spaces, confident to remain separately bound yet woven together until the voids that were are no longer. Who inspires, nurtures, and validates the journey.
When it comes to that person, protecting yourself feels like chaining your soul. And that discovery births the courage to grant a freedom that existed only in the fantasies of your boldest moments. Freedom to be fascinated with the beauty in others and more importantly, to allow them to appreciate that which lies in you, too.
Only then will you dare to be seen.
