Someone once asked me why people who fight in battles don't show their scars to the world? Why should they, though? I asked. Is it so selfish to keep your strength, your story, to yourself? I told him that sometimes people feel as if the world is mocking them for having scars and they stare at it as if it's something ugly. They see scars as sign of weakness, of damage, and of pain. If only the world could see the courage it took to move forward, the hesitation before finally looking up at the sky everyday and the way they shyly held the string of the only hope they ever had.
People are vulnerable. They may have a hard exterior, they may be fragile, and they may even look like star holes, but deep inside everybody just wants to be touched deeply. So gently. So softly. So caringly. They just want you to know that someone understands. Your stories are your rain and sometimes people use umbrella. Umbrella does more harm than good but if you're lucky you'll meet someone who will dance in your rain. Even the storm it carries. They will love you for your dew drops, they will love the way you'll make the earth smell of petrichor. They will, someday, give you a sun and maybe then you'll smile and say, "it's a beautiful day."
