Hearts all over the World Tonight

You gotta believe in something bigger than yourself. Now I'm not talking religious, spiritual, high and mighty-a-tude, I'm talking about the world outside of your situations, your family, your friends, outside of you.

Maybe "believe" isn't the right word. Maybe for you, it's faith or hope or see, but the point is, there's a world out there, and it's easy to get lost in it because it's big. I want to be the one to say that that's okay because it doesn't make you small or less important. It doesn't.

Sometimes I like to believe that all the [crap], and mess and hurt that goes on in life has a point. And other times I'd really like it to just stop so I can be happy again. The hypochondriac in me has already considered that maybe the outcome of all of it is actually going to be something, even if something means there's something wrong. The blogger in me has this much to say:

Sure, I often carry around all my problems and history with me, but maybe that just means that my heavy heart is big and capable of big, amazing things. I honestly believe that my emotions are in there, that that's where caring for a person begins and ends, and that things can break it. Though it can, at times, be cumbersome, it's also the thing that keeps me alive.

You gotta believe in something bigger than yourself. For me? It's my heart.
