Life has had a lot of hards, I've never stopped, but I have had to pause here and there. I didnt realize how much the last few years took a toll on me. I lost my dad last year, my divorce was finalized. My family went to court and fought for justice and we did get it thank God, I had to make peace with a lot of things that were left unfinished. My youth was pretty rough and I had to bury that pain with the past. I had to stand in that while my children faced similar pains. I don't want to air my dirty laundry, but I would like to offer compassion and hope for those who are struggling. I want to say that the mess may continue to pile around you, but when you are ready to get back up, if you can start, if you can keep pushing through it gets better. I will never lie and say it is easy, but you get stronger, you learn to carry it. You start wanting to build a life again, with wisdom this time, you build the life you want, the one you've always deserved, the one you never had to earn. You live a little more peaceful, and you start feeling less afraid. You didnt just survive, you over came. You let people in, ones who are amazing and kind. You build friendships again, repair old ones you thought were left behind. The only way out is through. Just like my old wonderful house, I'm working on this life, one step at a time, the foundation is pretty good, there is a lot of beauty here, she isn't perfect and may be a little bit of chaos, but I'm proud of how far ive come and I know if you keep going you will be too.
