First of all, I want to say “congratulations! we made it!”
Our life fell apart—it didn’t go as planned. We wished for things we couldn’t have. We wanted things unnecessary for our well-being. We wanted life to be easy. We loved people who didn’t love us. We experienced unimaginable happenings. We cried our self to sleep. We woke up feeling like a burden. We felt unwanted.
But those took us to where we are now. happy, contented and living the life we wanted with the people who love us.
Yes, our life fell apart so we could pick up the pieces and start again. We couldn’t have the things we want so we could work harder and push ourselves more. We wanted unnecessary things not knowing something great is coming our way. We wanted an easy life but nothing’s easy. We loved because we are capable of loving without expecting anything in return. We experienced things so we could learn from them. We cried so we could smile again. We felt being a burden so we could see our worth.
See?
We are strong—stronger as the days went by.
And I am proud of you for standing up when I fell. For wiping my tears when I cried. for looking at the brighter side of life. For choosing to keep going. For finally realizing that there’s more to life than just being in my comfort zone. Thank you.
Future self, I am excited to see and meet you but for now, let me do me!
