How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you?

How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you? So much that their decisions and actions and emotions have started seeping over into your life! How do you tell them that you feel everything at 1000% and the emotions they are feeling--to and extent you feel them too. How do you tell them that you stay up all night worrying about them. That you are physically, mentally, and emotionally hurting because they are. That you have a love for them and you're not quite sure what that means exactly but it is there and it's not going away anytime soon. And that you would give anything to be able to make everything go away, to be the one who could make them happy! How to you tell them all of that when you feel like the closer you get the farther they pull away. And for every step you take closer to getting back to the way things were, you find yourself taking two steps in the opposite direction. How do you tell them that you are so frustrated by them at time the only thing you want to do is grab them by the shoulders and shake them till they understand. And then at the same time give them the biggest, hardest, longest hug of their life so they know that no matter what you are there. 

HOW?

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...

How True This Is
