Hope is real?
Posted June 23rd 2010 at 03:18 PM by LlamaLlamaDuck
I spent some time today sending an email to the TWLOHA team in Cocoa, Florida and decided afterwards to take a look at their website and see if anything new was happening, and I came across this blog by Jamie.
Reading that, like so many of his other blogs, brought tears to my eyes, something that never fails to both annoy and amaze me. I realise he's right. And maybe I am too. I spent a while arguing about the existence of coincidence last night. I don't believe coincidence exists, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I think that deciding out of the blue to email TWLOHA and look at the site and find that isn't coincidence either, because I've been trying to write a letter today and have no idea where to start.
I think I have an idea at least where to start with my letter and, like so many of my other writing, I think that after I start, the rest will just come, without a plan of how I want to go.
Sure it's a weird thing to post about, but I realised a lot of things that would take too long to explain here, that was just one of them.
So, taking what that said, I want to tell everyone who reads it that YOU matter
Hope everyone has a great day
And you won't ever see this, but still, Happy Birthday Grandad..

i hope you know you're not the only one who feels the way you feel. You are not the only one who struggles. You are not the only one with questions. You are not crazy. You deserve to be heard, to be known. You deserve love.
You deserve love.
You deserve a place that feels like home. You deserve some hands to hold. Hands to pull you past the broken moments, hands to catch you when you fall. Eyes to see you. To say you're there, that you exist, that you change a room, that your presence is significant. Ears to hear you - hear your stories, hear you laugh. Ears to hear your questions and to say they matter.
Your questions matter.
Maybe call a friend today or invite someone to coffee. Tell someone they matter or tell someone you could use a conversation. Write a letter or ask someone how they're doing. Like a song too much. Feel the drums or get lost in the chorus. It means that you're alive.
It's good that you're alive. Who else could play your part?
i hope you get to a place, wake to a day, where that feels true. You deserve to know it's true.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a community of people with questions and struggles. It is for broken people and it is led by broken people. Life is heavy and light. Life is both. Beauty and pain, aches and dreams... We are saying that it's okay to talk about those things. We are saying that we need to. We are choosing to believe that stories deserve better endings. That hope is real, that help is real, that people need other people.
You are not alone today. You matter very much.
Peace to you.
