I hope you move on quickly and I hope you forget about all the moments we had together because sometimes remembering hurts more than forgetting. I hope you meet a gorgeous girl who isn't a wanderer at heart, and I hope she likes the same music as you and I hope that she never forgets how lucky she is. I hope you realize it's okay for you to be angry at God, and I hope you understand that not everything you've been taught is true. I hope you go on at least one big, rebellious adventure. I hope you find a friend who you feel comfortable being sad around. I hope you take off in the middle of the night on a road trip, or eat nothing but ice cream for a week just because you can. I hope you have lots of laughter and the good kind of nostalgia. I hope you visit all the places you've wanted to go and I hope that someday you swim in that pool in Belgium and I hope you finally escape this town. I hope you do something important and I hope you're passionate about life and I hope you do something honest that scares you and I hope that no matter what happens, you're happy.
these words are six months old and still make sense to me.
this made me cry.

ReplyDeleteIn other words. No. Nevermind. I have no words.
gosh, Katie, why must you toss my heart into a puddle of feels?! this touched my heart. and I know this is so close to your's. beyond beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey may always make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe only words worth holding on to are the words that will take you back to the moment they made sense no matter how many months ago that was. I had the chills when I read this. I'm handwriting this post and tucking copies into the book thief and TFIOS and jellicoe before I return them to the library. I'm going to tell them to tell you I sent them here. And that you are the best.
ReplyDeleteThis was so...true. It made me ache. And almost cry. Just because it pulled on my heartstrings and made me revisit feelings.
ReplyDeletei adore this.
