And they will make a nice little home in your heart, if you let them.
They turn everything grey, make you numb.
But they don't belong there, believe it or not.
We were created to see life in color. To love deeply.

But sometimes we just have to sit quietly, and listen.
And He says to me, "I love you, Holland."

To quote the brilliant and beautiful Alexi Speich,
"I have come to the conclusion that sadness and being drained of joy are inevitable for a deep heart-
one that can so much more easily embrace and cling to happiness because you know what it's like
when it's missing. "
