Believe me when I say that things get better. Believe me when I say that your heart re-learns to love and your face remembers to smile in a way that lights up all that has dimmed inside you. Believe me when I say that you won't feel empty for too long because that emptiness will be filled with something so profound, magnificent and beautiful that you won't even remember what it felt like before it came. Believe me when I tell you that feeling numb is a part of life, it's a part of the journey in which you find yourself—the healing journey. The one where you learn and re-evaluate what's important in your life. The one where you stumble, fall and graze your knee before putting a plaster over the scar and a smile on your face-reminding yourself that it's okay to fall, as long as you know how to get back up again, as long as you give yourself the time you need, as long as you understand that falling only makes you stronger. So, believe me when I say that even if you don't have anything to give to anyone right now —one day you will have a whole universe within you to share, and you will. Believe me, you will.
