This boy puts his hands on his knees breathing heavily, trying desperately to catch his breath. he takes quick shallow breaths over and over trying not to finally fall to his knees. He closes his eyes as the sweat slides off his forehead. His hair feels like a wool blanket wrapped around his head only making him hotter. His clothes feel like they have just come fresh out of the dryer but a bit to soon, a little damp but still so very hot. He looks up at his goal just out of arms reach. He had been running so diligently for so long after this thing. He smiles knowing of corse that even through the sweat and maybe a few secret tears the chase has been well worth even being this close. But that smiles fades gently the more he realizes that the distance he runs doesn't really close, but strangely stays the same. He fears that as he slides his head down when reaching the limits of his strength while he runs, the thing slyly slides just a bit further away, being very careful to stay just far enough away.

I just wish it was enough.

Sometimes I wonder just how special it is to chase and hold steadfast for the things you want. Especially things of the heart. For the ones that you love anything is worth it. 

Ladies. Just a bit of information that I am sure you would say you already know. But I must remind you. Don't ever sell short the meaningfulness of telling your guy you want him there. Not just if he wants or it's ok with you but because you want him there. I'm sure in our heads we think what an insignificant thing to focus on but oh so much do we love hearing it ourselves. Anyways just a reminder. Sometimes it's a small thing that means the world.

But hey... I am pushed to tell you to cheer up. We cannot let one thing ruin our smile. Our smile is the one thing that we have that brightens the world. If we lose that, the world loses. Although we deserve to be sad sometimes, we cannot choose that path to walk... We must find something to be happy about. If we don't, we lose the battle for us... and for everyone around us!

We are all searching for something beautiful. That something may not be a beauty that is given but a beauty that is shared. Finding the beautiful although difficult can be found. Sharing something beautiful on the other hand takes great strength and similar trust. We should be so lucky as to find that moment.

Sometimes you miss someone and you want to tell the world. But you cant because the world shouldn't hear it. And then you get frustrated because you have this feeling that is so beyond you that it literally hurts your chest to hold it in and you can't even share it. What's the point of being so connected in the world with social media and you can't even share your true thoughts. Mainly because its dangerous to your health. Because that burst of emotion just might leave you out on a limb alone.
