I hope you’re proud of yourself.
They say too much pride will kill you.
Maybe. But too little of it is just as true.
We just get so caught up sometimes
and keep the right words tied down too tightly.
Listen to me -
if you’re doing the best you can
with what you have, you’re evolving,
fighting
and you’re still full of fire and feeling,
well,
be proud of that.
You could have turned back long ago.
But you didn’t.
Nobody will ever understand your path.
The rough roads and weather were yours to travel through,
and you likely traveled them alone.
You deserve people in your life
who not only want to see you rise,
but want to rise alongside you.
You’re hard enough on yourself,
please don’t extend a hand to someone
who takes it
only to hold you down.
Your sins are paid for,
lessons learned,
scars adorned,
and you’re free to fall again.
It’s the brokenhearted who piece themselves back together.
That’s the kind of life you should be proud of -
in case nobody has said that to you recently.
Or ever.
