No matter what you’re going through in life
know that your loved ones are there for you
With them around it gives you
a different sense of purpose
Having family and friends
gives you a special perspective on life
They’re actually the reason
why you wake up every morning
Being there for them and
them doing the same for you
is what the true meaning of life is
Your only goal in life
is to be the best version of yourself,
not only for your but for them as well
Always remember to stay by the side
of your loved ones
and never drift away
Being near them
will help you
to share your courage
with those who need it
It will give those you help
the strength, confidence, and perseverance
to endure
all the pain and mistakes
they’ll encounter
on their way
towards achieving their goals
Even though you feel like an outcast
because of your preferences,
you are seen
Even though you feel like you’re all alone
despite being in a crowd,
you are seen
Even though you feel like you’ve lost sight
of who you are,
you are seen
Even if you are experiencing these feelings,
you are definitely one of a kind
and your family and friends
are there for you
and will never give up on you
because of who you truly are
For that in their eyes…
you are seen
You are where you’re supposed to be
You are a part of your family and friend’s world
You’re there in their universe to bring your heart,
to instill in them with love, support, guidance and hope
So be honored that you’ll accompany them
every step of the way of their life
whether you’re with them physically or in spirit
Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
The greatest gift
that you could give to the ones that you love
are memories
Those precious moments
can brighten the most darkest of days
and
give warmth to the coldest of nights
Those golden memories are
beautiful and joyful
and to share that moment in time
with someone
is something that will last forever
Don’t be too preoccupied
chasing your dreams
to stop and cherish
those around you
that allow you to do so.
When it seems like your life is
at its lowest point,
don’t feel that you’re all alone
Just simply look around you
and you’ll find
your family and friends there
to pick you up
Bring it upon yourself
to take in the
sights and sounds
and especially the memories
of the people around you
in order
to formulate the words
that will evoke true emotions
of your prose
Be appreciative
of those that support and guide you in life,
they are the ones
that help to create
a clear path
for you to move forward
