"sleep well, beautiful," he would whisper against my temple, kissing me before i slept.
that was the most comforting thing, hearing somebody compliment you like that.
sure, i had been complimented before, by like my grandmother once a year when i saw her on christmas.
but when luke said it, it felt different than anybody.
see, when you are complimented, it really is a confidence boost, right? but when the person who you value their opinion the most, and their thoughts are everything to you, compliments you, all hell breaks loose mentally. you feel like the most amazing person on earth cruising on cloud nine.
reasoning being, you value that person more than the rest of the world. when the one of the only people whom you care about their thoughts of you insults you, it hurts worse than anybody else.
when somebody hurts your feelings, it sucks. you might take it to heart. it hurts really bad.
when your world insults you, it feels like you may as well be dead. if your world doesn't like you, then what's the point of being there?
but when the world loves you, there's a reason to live, right?
luke had to teach me that no matter who likes you and who doesn't, there is always a reason to live.
