Finding Your Spark

Have you ever come to a point in your life where you don't want to do the things you once loved doing? Like, you just have no desire to breathe let alone stand up, move around and function in the human world? You've become very familiar with once certain pair of pajamas, you have the junk food isles memorized in alphabetical order, you've also memorized multiple numbers to the closest food delivery places, and your one little place of safe haven has your entire body structure known by heart because you've been there so long.
  Until, one moment out of nowhere you suddenly decide you're going to do things again, not because you're tired of everyone asking you what's wrong or because you feel like you have to but because you WANT to. For the first time, in a long time you want to do the things that you once adored doing. You're not sure why at first, but then little by little you discover why. 
  You discover that someone is your life has brought back the sun. You feel warm and vibrant when you're around them. You can feel yourself glowing, you cannot stop smiling (so much your cheeks hurt) and when you smile you can feel it reaching your eyes. Which hasn't happened in so long you can't remember. It hits you that this, not that past things not past anything THIS is what it's like to be happy. 
  This is what it's like to have someone want you unconditionally, not changing anything about yourself. They want you exactly how you are, you aren't sure why but you decide you aren't going to question it, you're just going to let it happen and you're going to cherish every moment. Because, for the first time, you have someone who cares exactly what you do, who is crazy about your personality, wants to protect you and make you laugh just because.
  Albert Schweitzer said something that could not solidify what I am trying to say more "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
  When you find something who is able to relight that flame, that went out without you even realizing it you need to cherish them and let them know every possible second that you need them in your life and you want them to be there because you've finally, after all that time found it. 

  You've found your spark.
