The bell at the front door rings, and a new customer walks in, frowning at her phone before placing it at her ear. What really draws Matthew'’s attention to the woman is the phone, because that has got to be the brightest (and ugliest) neon purple Otterbox he’s ever seen in his life. There is no denying, however, that the woman that’s holding the phone in the ugly purple Otterbox is gorgeous. As she gets closer, Matthew can see that her eyes are a piercing shade of grey. Her voice becomes a bit clearer and her pink lips curve into a small, shy smile for a brief few seconds, and— Matthew wants to see that smile play at the corners of her lips again.
Even now, as broken as you may feel,
You are still
So.
Strong.
There’s something to be said about how
You hold yourself together and keep moving,
Even though you feel like shattering.
Don’t stop.
This is your healing.
It does not have to be pretty.
Or graceful.
You just have to
Keep.
Going.
