Comfort

You reach for it. It touches you in every way. A sheet of comfort overflows. A sense of peace radiates through your body. Your mind flashes back to a time in your life when you were filled with happiness. When things were easy. When you had someone to care for you. When you had someone bigger than you, stronger than you, take you into his or her arms.

No matter what ‘it’ is, we all need it. We all need something to hope for. We all need something to hold onto when things get tough. We all need a reassurance that we are loved.

During some point in the 20th century, Bob Greene said this:
“If you look closely enough, amid the merciless and the bitter, there is always the chance that you may find comfort and the promise of something good.”

We were not created to take care of ourselves. We were not meant to push everyone away. We were not meant to be so independent. Everyone needs someone, everyone needs something to reassure them. Everyone needs to be loved.

We were thrown into a world of corruption, hate, tragedy, and conformity. It is not, by any means, wrong for you to crave love. It is not, by any means, wrong for you to want to have the comfort as you did when you were a baby cradled in your mother’s arms.

This ‘it’ you long for, let it find you. Let it overtake you. It doesn’t matter where you are. It doesn’t matter what point you’re at in your life. If someone is giving, take. If someone needs comfort, give it.

Let a kiss on your forehead be more than a kiss.
Let it bring you back to a time of ultimate happiness.
