““one day you’re gonna be able to look back at this and know that it was just temporary. the pain was temporary. that feeling like you’re suffocating, drowning, being sucked into your own pit of self destruction is temporary. you’re gonna know that nothing is forever. the hurt doesn’t last. the days when u feel you’re about to combust don’t last. the waves of depression that hit you like a tidal wave- that make u feel nauseous, like you’re spinning in a cycle of never ending torture-it doesn’t last. u rise above it. u rise above it all. u cry your heart out knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. that this too shall pass. your worst days are behind you. you fought. you lost. you got back up again. you conquered. you’re going to be ok. “maybe” u think to yourself, it was all worth it. it was part of the course. it was a necessary pain that built you into the person you are today. the person you love. u stand high on the shoulders of your ancestors, daughter protégée of strength, honor and grit. simultaneously allowing yourself to co exist as both masterpiece and work in progress.””
