Listen—I know what it is like to have a heart that
does not know how to stop burning, to have hands
that want to give until they have nothing left. I know
what it feels like to have firewood for fingers, what
it feels like to want to touch every cold soul you see,
what it feels like to want to reignite every bone in a
body. I know what it feels like to be misunderstood
within this—to be loved and unloved because of your
heat; but you cannot give up on yourself, you cannot
ignore all that surges within you. If the world does
not understand the way you burn, do not hide yourself away.
Instead, set it on fire.
Show them what you can do
with all of that hope inside of you.
