Things I wish I knew before turning 18.

~Someone comes

So many great things are happening but humans are bad at most things. Love, relationships, judging, holding ourselves together, being dependable. But there is one thing we are so good at, that we are in fact, spectacular at it. We are all so damned good at being broken open. It's how the light gets out. Perhaps this is why we choose betrayal, it's how we know it's there. Because once in a while, someone comes along who tells us life is so much more than just existing or wondering what we could have done with all of the time we wasted wondering if we were good enough, pretty enough to exist. Someone comes along to remind us, to stop being so small and so human. And do better by being so much more.
