For the Girl Who Feels Like She Used to Be So Much Stronger

She feels it building behind her eyes, her heart beating louder with every second that passes, the knot in her throat grows larger and heavier. It’s a feeling she knows she has no control over when she feels a meltdown coming there’s nothing to do but let go.

Some days, she needs to fall apart before she can piece herself back together. Some days, she can feel everything building up, just waiting to explode.

Then something happens. Something big or something small, it affects her all the same. It acts as a little flame that ignites a huge fire; a gust of wind that knocks over the bottle she has oh so carefully stuffed with her emotions, hiding them away to (hopefully) never be seen again.

This world makes her feel like she always has to be strong like it is bad to break down. But it is okay to need to be weak every now and then.

Believe in Yourself, You’re Much Stronger Than You think

Life doesn’t always go the way you expect it to go. Day after day you are often bombarded with challenges —a challenge that test your patience, shape your character, and allows you to learn an important lesson. And sometimes we fail to pass that challenge.

You’re Stronger Than You Seem and Smarter Than You Think

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that things will get easier on their own; because they won’t. Mistakes are big, bitter pills to swallow. The guilt will always eat at you for the things you can no longer change and you will often feel alone with your feelings.

The only thing that really changes is your ability to forgive yourself in a world where nobody else will. Mistakes hurt. Lack of forgiveness hurts. Love hurts. Perhaps love is the greatest pain of all.

You give so much and hate yourself when you fall below your own expectations; When you fail to protect the only person you ever truly cared for; When you not only let yourself down but all of those around you, too.

Sometimes you feel confused and overwhelmed. What could you do differently; What could you do better? After a loss, sitting in silence pondering your thoughts on what you did wrong is a sure way to lose yourself and become trapped in the confines of a deep, dark tunnel you should never walk through.
