Just when you're losing sight of what you've always wanted and deserved, the haze suddenly starts to clear up. Then you see and remember the pretty picture that you've painted. It's a life that you've always wanted with loving people surrounding you. There's a new found warmth after the cold that's been hurting your bones and the blood begins to flow again.

So many bad things happened and you've resigned to the fact that what you've wanted and dreamed of are simply unattainable-things that you've somehow believed that only others could only have. Certain people and circumstances led to so many disappointments and you've discovered a twisted sort of comfort in jadedness. It's better to be secluded than to risk baring yourself to people's capability of cruelty.

It's wonderful when people remind you of the things that matter most in your life. It's comforting to know that there are people who just take your hand somehow knowing that you've unwittingly been crying out for help. It's like they can feel your pain through the porcelain smile. They need not ask nor do they say that they do know your private suffering and instead they merely see and appreciate the beauty and goodness in you.

I'm very grateful for these people. And I thank them for being there, not because I asked for help, but for merely appreciating the person that I thought I have buried and forgotten. They have seen me when I couldn't see myself and reminded me of who I am. They made me see in their eyes that I actually deserve and can have what I wanted.
