This is a little long, but it brought tears to my eyes with how powerful it is: Your heart needs to break open from time to time. Its how we transform and grow as human beings. If youve never had your heart broken by loss and despair, if youve never truly been in pain, if you havent walked through the fire and back...you havent truly lived. You wont know what it feels like to be alive until youve walked out onto a ledge called Giving Up, wiggled your toes across the brim, looked down at the infinite fall below and then very carefully, taken a step back. You wont know. You cant know. When we go through heartache we start to feel so much that the limitations of our hearts simply cant take it anymore. And suddenly... It cracks open. Sometimes we can even feel it happening inside our chest. Our heart has burst, and the overwhelming pain that follows could be too much to bear, but it never is. The universe never gives us anything that we cannot handle. The thing is, through these cracks, light begins to seep in. Little by little light fills your heart and your heart will start to grow. You realize your heart is fragile for a reason: it needs to break from time to time so it can grow and we can learn how to love even harder. We all walk this earth with giant hearts inside of our chests and we all feel so much. We are not alone, and our broken hearts, they know this. Light fills us until it overflows and others can feel it too. Tragedy makes us warriors. Light bearers. We light up the path for others and together, we stop fumbling through the darkness and start remembering what it truly means to be alive. Life is a gift, and this pain... Its all for something. Its all for something. Dont you ever forget it. -Rachel Brathen
