"He's speakin' to you, babe ..." (the message, pt. 2)

Have you ever sensed the feeling that someone is really trying to send you a message?

I told my cousin the other night that I think I'm like Jack (for you LOST fans, you'll know what I mean), and that I need to see things for myself. No matter how clear the writing is on the wall, some people (Jack and I) just need to figure it out for ourselves, in our time, before we do what we were meant to do in the first place.* Some people - you can tell them what to do and they'll do it. And some people - "you need to allow them to look out at the ocean for awhile." (Jacob)

Anyhow, I saw this today ...

The Messenger Was Dead When I Got Here
by iwrotethisforyou
You should tell them the truth. Tell them that if they hold on too tightly, love might cut them. Tell them to hold on tightly anyway. Tell them everything is worth it and that the richness of life is only ever enhanced by its inevitable, brief flashes of sadness and loss.


*This is not to say that the messenger is not important because the messenger is, perhaps, the most important person. Without the messenger, the Jacks and I's of the world may never get it.

Credit to iwrotethisforyou - you've done it once again. Beautiful!
