I know you think this world is too dark to even dream in color, but I’ve seen flowers bloom at midnight. I’ve seen kites fly in gray skies and they were real close to looking like the sunrise, and sometime it takes the most wounded wings the most broken things to notice how strong the breeze is, how precious the flight.

You panic button collector. You clock of beautiful ticks. You run out the door if you need to. You flock to the front row of your own class.

Everything you feel is okay.
