I’m scrolling through memes
Looking for comfort in JPEGs,
Heart still bruised.
It seems all so complicated,
But it’s not
Not really.
Even when it hurts
I’ve learned
So f-cking much
And I have
No regrets
And I still believe in all of the good things
And even more now:
In people before titles
In time
Before falling
In the magic of everything from the big things
To a typical Tuesday night.
Because in its own way
It’s all magical.
So we all strive
To do our best
And cause as little damage along the way;
And while I sound like a f-cking Hallmark card
I know that happy endings do exist.
Or, maybe not so much happy endings,
But exciting adventures to get there.
I’m scrolling through memes
Looking for comfort in JPEGs,
Because quotes are relatable
Words are powerful
And hope makes me smile.
Because, even when it hurts,
It’s so f-cking worth it
And I have no regrets.
