Beautiful places and people do not just appear…
Beautiful places were once dark and damaged. They were once lifeless and trashed, and maybe they still are. Yet they have a story, they have a purpose. They’re a stranger to some, a discomfort to plenty, yet a home for many. Their beauty derives from harm and destruction. And somewhere, one finds their home and peace, whether it’d be by the graffiti on that brick wall, or the field of dandelions and cigarette butts. They have a memory, created out of a place, and that imprint is forever a source of comfort.
Beautiful people are created out of the recovery of suffering, and the lessons they allowed themselves to learn. They have pulled themselves out of the dark places their mind had no control over finding. They appreciate kindness, and have sensitivity to life and love. They allow themselves to make mistakes, for they know their strength is well trained. Those are the people that understand beauty, in nature, disaster, and simplicity. They see life for what it is, beyond the complications, broken promises and lost hopes.
Beautiful places and people do not just appear, they create themselves out of forgiveness, passion, strength and stories. And maybe one day, when all these people come to understand each other, we will stop tampering with our world and accept it as is – our home, our beautiful, imperfect home.
