Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
Even when your lover leaves you empty and begging,
you are still loved.
Even when you’ve tried and tried and failed and failed,
you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.
Even When; Especially When
