the world could be ending, but if you heard their voice, everything would just get better. the softness of their voice, the simple faith that rings right through every time they say ‘it’ll be okay’ sets every problem straight. it’s hard for you to open up. to be vulnerable around someone, to put your faith in someone else’s hand. it’s always been hard for you to let someone in, but to your surprise, it’s easy with them. you find them breaking your walls, turning your rock-hard exterior into something bubbly soft. you open up. vulnerability isn’t scary with them around. it’s easy, you know? it’s easy opening up with someone who doesn’t let your faith waver. someone who truly cares can listen to you rumble about something all day, someone who waits patiently for you to be ready to talk. it’s easy with someone who knows when to push and when to retrieve, someone who waits for you to let your guard down. they talk to you through your worst, and cheer you on, on your best days. they turn into your human diary, letting you unload after a heavy day, burst out of happiness on days that are perfect. they’re present, through thick and thin. everything is fine when they’re around. it gets better when shared. through happiness and sorrow, you find someone in them, who is compatible with you. you find someone who makes the world a better place for you, just by being in it. someone who makes it better just by their words. __ scene by Shikha (@shikhaholic) for The Scribbled Stories
