Oh you beautiful, beautiful person. Did you know that somebody loves you? 

Somebody is waiting for you to shine, to gather you in their arms and hold you. And maybe you haven't found that person yet. Maybe you're still in the dark tunnel, and you have nowhere to go. Maybe the light flickered out a long time ago, and you were left in the dark. You're scared, and you're hurting. You're searching for someone, anyone, to love you. It's lonely in that dark tunnel, isn't it?

But that person is there. They are waiting around the corner, waiting for you to take a deep breath and take just one more step into their arms. They could be anyone - maybe it's me, maybe it's the friend you were never really close with but would like to get to know them better, maybe it's the man you saw walking down the street who smiled at you with joy.  *Somebody loves you.* 

You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are so strong to have stayed in that tunnel without collapsing. It amazes me! You are brave to wake up every day with this weight on your shoulders and keep on marching. And it's hard, isn't it? I know just how hard it is, my friend. Shivering in that tunnel alone, hurting and there's no one there to take the pain away. But I see you. We all see you. And we love you! I love you. You are not alone, no matter how much you may feel that. There are so many of us in our own separate tunnels, searching for someone who will love us - we know how hard it is. And it's okay, my friend. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to cry. It's okay to let yourself be vulnerable. Because I love you, we all love you! We love you no matter what. No matter how alone you feel.

I have a poem I want to share with you, by Sara Teasdale. I want you to take a moment, wherever you are, and take a deep breath. In through your nose, out through your mouth. And again, another deep, deep breath. Yes, that's it. I want you to see us outside of the tunnel, all of us who love you. And then I want you to know that there will be rest, my beautiful friend. There will be rest.

**"There Will Be Rest"**

*There will be rest, and sure stars shining*

*Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,*

*A reign of rest, serene forgetting,*

*The music of stillness holy and low.*

*I will make this world of my devising*

*Out of a dream in my lonely mind.*

*I shall find the crystal of peace, – above me*

*Stars I shall find.*

\- Sara Teasdale.

Someone out there is waiting to love you. Don't you forget that. Angel, you were born to fly - and if you get too high, I’ll catch you when you fall.
