dear..

Carter,

I’m sorry. 

I’m sorry that sometimes I beat way to hard while you walk up the stairs but c’mon. Run a little. 

I’m going to need you to do something for me. 

these next couple months

these next couple years

are going to be tough on me. 

we need to look past the storm clouds, through the rain, and look at the eyes of our future and say

I’m not afraid.

you will sometimes lose your mind, but it’s a lot harder to lose your heart.  

oh and one last thing.

believe in yourself more. 

you have way more potential than you think you have and are capable of so many amazing things but you stop when you get scared. 

don’t be scared. 

you got this. 

take a step back. 

take a deep breath. 

keep me beating.

–your heart. 

p.s.

this girl. the one that has stars in her eyes and galaxies in her heart. I like her.
