You have to believe that when Heaven gives you sorrow, it will give you something beautiful in another way. I never believed in those grand, hollow platitudes, but meeting him made me realize that there will always be someone in this world who appears for no reason other than to heal all your wounds. His presence made me, a person who was a complete mess, feel for the first time that I was worthy of love too, that I was wonderful, and that someone could hold me in the palm of their hand. He helped me become a better version of myself, step by step, from eating and sleeping to the little details of how I dressed and went about my studies every day.
