Miracles

the war outside our door keeps raging on hold onto this lullaby even when the music’s gone

this month has been a whirlwind of emotions. highs and lows, trials and triumphs. reuniting, reminiscing, yearning, missing, wanting... the list goes on.

However, despite my every day hurdles, my reality was shaken in such a way that i don't think many ever have the ability of experiencing, opening my eyes to the truths of things, rather than the little things that in the bigger picture, don't matter. I won't go as far to say this was a luxury, because in this certain situation, i would hardly consider it a luxury. but considering the proximity of things, and the challenges that arose... i'm able to put things into perspective.

I can't say how long this new found realization will last. most likely, once i have to experience first hand struggles, frustrations and hurt, i will lose all sense of this concept. but for now, i'm taking it with me as i continue to move forward to wherever it is i am headed.

miracles can happen in multiple forms to many different people. sometimes, the smallest act of kindness is a miracle, depending on the situation. it's entirely subjective. but i know for a fact that i have personally experience a fair share of miracles. and most recently, the life of a little girl who at one year old, is probably one of the strongest people i know. If only i could be as resilient as she is, in my petty every day drama.

But, not every emotion that i face is drama. it's entirely real, and i don't want to push it aside as though it means nothing. stepping up to the plate to offer the kindness and support to others is another miracle, one, that i hold close. Helping those i love when they need me most, gives me the reassurance that i matter. Being this support system for others as they face turmoil, as they grieve, and as they move past things out of their control, gets me through my every day drama. because the feelings they may be feeling are anything but fake. and me being able to give my encouragement, my words, and my understanding... is what i consider an important part of who i am. Perhaps, everyone is someone's miracle.
