Growing with time.

When you've finally had enough, growing begins to hit your heart. You feel like there's not a chance you could stoop any lower. You have good days, then you have bad days. When the bad days come, they hit hard as hell. You don't have much of an option but to endure the pain and work through it all. The memories, the love, and even words will tear you open. Nothing can stop everything from flooding in at once as it begins. You find yourself fighting all of the pain and trying to run from it instead of working through it. Once you can truly decide to work through it, the tears will flow just as much, but it gets easier to let them fall. After you get tired of crying, you'll feel a bit of strength inside of you. You'll feel less obligated to want to reach out to someone. Take that strength with stride and grow through it. Wake up every day telling yourself that the day is going to go right and that nothing can tear you down this time. Pick your head up, smile, and don't let anyone get in your way of being happy. Push out the ideas of thinking you aren't good enough and pull in the people who make you see clearly. Everyone deserves happiness, even when it seems utterly impossible for that to be true. Life is never simple. It takes sharp turns and knocks you down most of the time. But, the strongest people are the ones who get put through the most and still find a reason to get up every morning fighting. It's wrong to give up on yourself because one day you'll look back and be thankful that you kept going. Someone out there will be thankful that you never gave up on yourself and you'll be thanking God for the second chance. I know that right now everything I'm saying feels completely impossible but I also know that I've got to pick myself up off the ground, wipe away the tears, and put the past where it belongs. If someone leaves you, leave them. A heart is not meant to be walked all over, but to be cherished and flourished with love. If you aren't receiving that or feel as if you aren't good enough, you've given your heart to the wrong person. Don't make that mistake more than once. Each person you trust with your heart is a risk. You must decide which people are worth the risk and if you decide they are, love like hell and never look back. Second chances are always risks and should never be regretted. Grow with the days that continue on and continue being the amazing person you are. Don't forget how much you grow, and don't forget what this teaches you.
