An Unexpected Paradise

by Chelsea Curto

Today is either going to be the day I get fired or the day I commit a murder.

She’s the day. Sunshine. Brightness. All-encompassing warmth. Lending a hand wherever needed. Someone people look to for solace, joy and comfort. I’m the night. Colder. Darker. Uninviting. Someone people rarely offer more than a passing second or two of attention to, eagerly searching for the bright colors of a new dawn.

“Trust me, you’re not a dark soul. You’re simply searching for the light. There’s a big difference.” “What’s the difference?” “You’re trying, even if you aren’t whole yet. Sometimes, that’s what is most important. Sometimes, trying is half the battle.”

Love doesn’t pick the pretty parts to like about someone; it’s all-encompassing.

This!
