Promise

I want to promise you something.

I can't promise that life will always be easy or pleasant, I can't promise that you will always have the most amazing memories. You will have really rough patches. You will loose faith, and you will get mad at the world. You will fight God, and you will walk away. I can't promise that you won't feel alone, and I can't promise that you will feel alone. I can't promise that you'll always be happy, and I can't promise you'll always be sad. There will be people that leave. I can't promise any one will stay. But that doesn't mean every one will leave either. You may not ever like the way you look, and you may not ever be flawless like the girl on the cover of Vogue. But you are beautiful. And the definition of beautiful doesn't include the word flawless.

I can only promise this. As long as there is a beat in your heart, and air in your lungs, you have a purpose. You have a God-given power within you that will allow you to over come the impossible. You are worth something. As long as there is pain, there is happiness. You will find someone who loves a beautiful heart not just a beautiful body. Patience will come to you, and you will find joy. You may not have the most money, or the best things, but you have enough to pull you through. No matter how little you have, there is always going to be someone with less then you. No matter how much you have, you will never buy your way to happiness. The key to success is selflessness. You won't be measured buy how nice of a car you had, or how many bedrooms your house had. You will be measured by the number of people you helped, and the amount of love you gave. Wisdom comes through experience, and you will use that to help people who are in your shoes. I can promise that you will always have a home, and your home will be where YOU make it. God will be there, waiting, even if you never come back. I can promise that you are worth something.
