this one's for you.,

Remember those times when you forget to breathe. You get really lightheaded and your vision becomes blurred. Then you realize what just happened and you take a huge breathe.

Or the times you walk into a crowded room and you don't know anyone. Your hands start to shake and your timid smile doesn't fool anyone. Then you truly consider running to the bathroom because you don't want to face the people.

The times when you think that you can take on the world and you are ready to run out the door and face the world. Then there is a phone call you wish you didn't get. That ruined your day of independence and strength.

The first time you felt utterly alone. Crying. And wanting the world to just stop for a bit so you can collect your thoughts about how you are going to fix things. Then realizing that you are just another person and you can't do anything about the world. Do you remember how alone you felt?

Remember the awkward conversations with people that you don't know. But you do know. You have lived with them your whole life but you still scream stranger in your head when they are trying to be family.

The times when you want to make a difference and you think that you are getting through. But then you realize that some people just don't care. And no matter how hard you try you aren't going to get anywhere. Remember your uselessness.

Have you ever walked down the street and saw something so beautiful. And then you get that stab of jealousy. And then you regret ever seeing it because everything that you do doesn't seem to compare to it.

Your first heartbreak. You think that things are okay and the next thing you know it's like a part of your body is getting torn out. Like you are going to fall into pieces. So you wrap your arms around your stomach in the feeble attempt to hold yourself together.

The time that you did something that changed you life forever. And you regret it for the rest of your life. Because nothing will ever be the same. And you just want things to be the same.

That time you looked into that mirror and truly hated the person that you saw. How you wanted to runaway rather then bare that thought of other people seeing your face.

Or maybe the time when you lost everything. And you thought that you would rather die then to face the fact that you may not get it back.

That first time that you were hated for something that you couldn't change because it was who you were. Remember how bad you felt about yourself that you would rather just be like everyone else just for one day rather than be different for the rest of your life.

Remember when you conformed to society. How you felt like a sellout. How you betrayed your sense of person. That you would have rather spent the rest of your life alone and different rather then be who they wanted you to be for just that one day.

And remember that day that all of that just didn't matter and you looked out your window for what seemed like the first time and thought. I can do this. I can be myself. Breath. And take on the world on my terms. Because of that one person who gave you a chance.

Today is your day.
Smile.
You can do this.
This is your chance.
