the place in my mind



There is a place in my mind where the dead ones go.
my friends, family members, famous people and acquaintances.
mingling forever and backing me up.
standing there for me when i'm alone at night.
that solid foundation when nobody understands.

my grandma.
my friend's little brother
the victims of genocides
my favorite actor
that car crash victim
the unknown soldier
the cousins i never met
that one stranger nobody knew

all of them in the same place.
the perfect place.
waiting for me patiently till im home again.
smiling. loving. surrounding. encouraging. cheering
wanting nothing but the best because they finally landed in the place of perfection.
the place where it all makes sense.
and they knew that they're lives were worth it.
and they know that my life is worth it. yours is too.
they never want to be forgotten, but never want to be mourned.
they've learned that the little things matter.
and that others are above everything.
and that every life is perfect and purposeful.
no matter how long it lasts.
and because of that expiring time,
every moment counts.
every smile. every person to show love to.
every thought in your head.
every decision made.
because every life has magnificent purpose. especially yours.

live for them and live for yourself.
live for the moment and live for the end.
