Everyone has one of those days where they just feel like everything is going wrong, all hope is lost and it’s not even worth going ahead. Today I had one, as did someone very dear to me. I distanced myself because I thought that is what I wanted, and it went on all day – then I heard a song that made me think things over. George Harrison’s beware of darkness. Each word grasping me and telling me, this isn’t the way. I began to feel regret. I remembered reading about the solar flare today that disrupted the magnetic field of the earth so I went outside for a walk to watch the Aurora Borealis elegantly flickering up in the Northern sky comforting and reaffirming me – and then, as if that weren’t enough I saw a massive shooting star I quickly wished upon before it burned out. The words of the song churning over in my mind, the beautiful sky, the shooting star and the warmth of the night air all permeated the walls I had put up around me and then made them crash down. Everyone has bad days, sometimes they extend to multiple days but it should not govern us in such a way that we become cold. I believe in my idea once more, the words I had told myself I’d never say floated into the air slowly like a feather being carried by a gust of wind – I love you. Three simple words that contain more power than splitting atoms. Sometimes it is taken for granted, disregarded, ignored and cast aside – but it never should be. Our futures intertwined indefinitely leading on to happier days, now my world is at peace. As I gazed at the sky and the stars I thought of the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever looked into sparkling with life and potential, and love. Quite simply, she is the most beautiful and amazing person I’ve ever come across despite all the hardships we’ve had and all the challenges – we’re still battling against the current moving forward and then some day, the waters will still and the howling winds will turn to calming gentle breeze and finally, the rain will subside and the sun will shine down on us making us remember just what we saw in the first place. For those who read this and expected something funny or nerdy, sorry. For those who found some sort of inspiration, I’m glad. And for you – you are the reason my heart beats.

Good night everyone,
Ryan
