Embracing Ugly

A friend asked me how I was doing today and the truth was, not great. She said she was sorry and that's when I said what I believe to be true for me, "I have to embrace the ugly times if I ever wanna get through them." This may not be true for everyone, and that's okay. If I don't take the ugly days by the horns, if I don't let it out, if I don't let moments be ugly when they are supposed to be, they'll keep coming back. So today, there won't be a Tuesday 10. There won't be a lengthy post about my personal feelings, there'll just be song lyrics and a handwritten notebook, full of my own ugliness because I've learned how to embrace it in a healthy way. I miss the sound of your voice And I miss the rush of your skin And I miss the still of the silence As you breathe out and I breathe in If I could walk on water If I could tell you what's next I'd make you believe I'd make you forget I miss the pull of your heart I taste the sparks on your tongue I see angels and devils And God, when you come on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on If I could walk on water If I could tell you what's next I'd make you believe I'd make you forget
