i have to believe that pain doesn't just wear our hearts out; that it stretches them with purpose, that it's meant to give us a pulse… in breakdown, we are broken open, and in hurt, we find more humanity, passion is stirred from our aches, and empathy is a muscle that grows the more we feel… and so we come out brighter from our darkness. maybe if we let it… our pain can have beautiful purpose. – butterflies rising
