The Collector

These are all the tears you’ve ever shed. The ones that taught you who you are. That made you grow up. That let you know that what you felt, mattered. And they are all here for a reason.

and yet when you remember them you feel both a joy that you've overcome them and a familiar hurt.

ive always wanted to go back to myself when i was crying and give myself a hug.
