I'm gonna repost this here so that maybe it'll be able to help some people here like it did on the old wcf. And remember that you guys can always talk to me if you're feeling down.
I hope everything is going well for you, that your day has been pretty good. If it has, I'm so very happy! *throws confetti for you and hugs you* I hope things continue you be this way for you!
If it hasn't been, whether just a small thing got you down today or your entire life is falling apart...
I love you.
I want you to not give up.
I want to show you what you can do even in the midst of those broken places in life.
I want to see you have hope. I want you to see there is hope.
I want you to believe with even just a small piece of your wounded heart that someone still cares about you, even when the rest of the world turns its back on you and leaves you...
Alone.
Unloved.
Beat down.
Broken.
Made fun of.
Defeated.
Worthless.
Hopeless.
Shunned.
Guilty.
Angered.
Lost.
Depressed.
In despair.
Feeling like you failed.
Unaccepted.
Closed off.
Trapped.
Terrified.
Scarred.
Unforgivable.
Numb.
Empty.
Having all of your faith stolen.
Made to believe there's no reason to go on.
In the dark.
*lights a candle and sets it on the ground in front of you*
See this? This little candle, with a little glowing flame.
Now look around you. All you can see in any direction is just silent, empty darkness. Nothing but all those words I listed above. Right? They settle around you and beyond you and within you. Chilling you and leaving you with nothing but blackness...
Now look back at the candle. Look at what it is doing.
The flame is burning in one small place, but the light from it reaches out. The light flickers out into the darkness just a bit, chasing away the shadows for a few feet all around it.
Step closer to the candle. Put your hand a few inches away from it. Feel the heat? It warms your hand nicely, just steadily reaching from the center of its flame out to your skin.
If you were stuck in your world of darkness, you would take comfort in this one little candle, right? Its light would comfort you. Its warmth would sustain you. Its presence would make you feel less alone, lost, and hopeless, compared to all the total black emptiness around you.
Now consider this. What if this candle....
was a person? What if it was me?
Would you let me come to you in your darkness?
Would you let me show you that there is still light in this world?
Would you let me accept you?
Would you let me show you hope?
Would you let me love you?
I want to love you.
I want to be the light in your darkness.
I want to show you that you don't have to lose hope, that you don't have to give up.
I want to warm your heart.
I want to comfort you in your dark, seemingly hopeless silence.
I will love you.
*picks up the candle and takes your hand* *leads you forwards into the darkness*
I will show you that you can walk into the dark, your dark, and I will be right beside you.
See what the candle does to the dark? *walks forward more*
Anywhere you go, its light chases the shadows away all around you.
It is just a little candle. Just a single flame... And yet its power can do more to you than you realize. This is a candle of love and hope. It can show you that your darkness is defeated in the light. When it is present, the darkness is absent.
Will you let my candle of love show you all that you truly are? Will you believe that you are and can be...
Never, ever alone?
Loved beyond measure?
Lifted up?
Made whole?
Not judged?
Successful?
Worth more than you can imagine?
Filled with hope?
Always welcomed?
Shameless?
Calm and forgiving?
Found?
Joyful?
Walking without doubt?
Loved despite all your failures?
Accepted?
Open?
Freed?
Full of trust?
Healed?
Forgiven?
Full of love?
Fulfilled?
With all faith restored?
I love you. You have a reason to go on. I love you. Let that be your reason.
I love you. With love, you are in the light. *places the candle in your own hands*
I will always love you. I will always believe in you. Never give up. Your darkness cannot defeat you.
I hope I have kindled up your own candle now. I hope I have given you hope and love to carry with you, always. Something to warm your heart and comfort you when your world is darkest. I looooooove youuuuuuuu!
And now, I have just one last hope: that you will take your candle, set off into the blackness, and seek out others who are lost and hopeless. Cold and without a flame of their own. In the dark.
I hope that you in turn will share your love with them, so they will find hope to carry on as well. Be that candle for them, like I truly hope I am to you here.
Together, we will light up each others' darkness. Chase out all the shadows. And set the world on fire.
All we need is love. <3
