Am I a masochist?
Because the mere thought of your name makes my heart ache and my mind go insane. My legs collapse in the middle of a memory we once shared and my face is covered in tears that I can’t hold back.

But I choose to torture myself with your heartbreaking absence instead of living a life without you at all.

First Taste of Heartbreak 

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.
