My Arms Are Here To Be Your Shelter: Letter To A Broken Heart

I know there’s nothing from your past I can change, regardless of how much I want to. I’m aware of what you’ve been through. What comes next will be the key to make a strong, successful, loved, and happy individual. You might not believe it right now, but you will be someone able to give

My Arms Are Here To Be Your Shelter: Letter To A Broken Heart

Letter to a broken heart - my arms are here to be your shelter: letter to a broken heart

I know there’s nothing from your past I can change, regardless of how much I want to. I’m aware of what you’ve been through. What comes next will be the key to make a strong, successful, loved, and happy individual. You might not believe it right now, but you will be someone able to give and receive love.

I see your sadness and wish I could hold you and never let you go. Each day I struggle to see you smile, even for an instant, to remind you that, even when faced with the worst, you can be happy.

I beg for you to not forget how beautiful and amazing this life is, as well as what a wonderful human you are.

I need you to understand that we are in this world to grow, learn, and reach fulfillment. There will be many times when this will be hard to grasp. The way out of hardship is nearby. The solution is simpler than you think. You just need to not lose hope in yourself. Don’t drown in something not worth your time or not up to you.

Throw the negative aside and keep the good. This is the only thing that will grant you peace and tranquility during the toughest of times.

Always remember that the darker things seem, the nearer light is. This new dawn will be the most beautiful one you’ve ever seen. At that moment you will fully enjoy everything life has to offer.

I know you. I can describe so many things about you. All the changes and evolutions you’ve gone through. But now it’s time for you to realize that. You should be proud and grateful for all you’ve accomplished. That is what will drive you to keep going and not settle.  

This is so you can finally comprehend your worth, as well as the great human you can become once you turn the page on this terrible moment in your life. You can be sure that I will continue by your side until you choose to move on.  I will be with you despite everything. I will support you and try to give you advice, but I will also stay silent when necessary.

My arms are here to be your shelter. My smiles are for you to take when you need of joy. My tears are yours to ease your burden.

I offer the most valuable things that are truly mine: my time, company, and patience. It might not sound like much, but they are what I treasure most. Life is a journey from which we need to learn, understand, and receive what will make us greater and unbreakable, as well as to leave indelible prints in the memories of others.
