supplements

Shannon Rankin. Heart.
...

because i can't find the words to accurately describe how i feel.
(or rather) because i don't even know what i am feeling.
because right now:thursday: i am one day closer to reuniting with my family.
because i didn't leave my house today and now i feel like i am suffocating. seriously.
because in 2 months i will be on my own, 400 miles away from what i know and love. off to discover more to know and love.
because even though i am an individual, my heart and soul still wants to dance with yours.
because even though my heart and soul wants to dance with yours, i am still an individual.
because i can only hold on to so much.
because the world is so ridiculously beautiful sometimes. i really can't handle it.
(and also) because the little things still make me cry.
because there will be more front doors to enter. and more hands to be held. and more stars to be searched for. and more eyes to be memorized.
"(just) because i'm losing, doesn't mean i'm lost"
because being human is universal.
because some songs will never get old.
because of arms.
because of how i feel when i stand next to mountains. (and for why i want to climb them).
because understand is so much more valuable than conquer.

...
to: existing.

I love this picture of the map of the heart. It so perfectly goes with your post and is really a poignant combo.
