I can’t say that I always knew how I’d make it through some days.

 

I can’t say that I always knew how I’d make it through some days.

Those times when everything seemed to go wrong and anything that could turn upside down would.

Those storms that tore me apart and brought me to my knees would have once made me feel like I couldn’t go on..

But not now.

I’ve not only weathered the hardest downpours and survived the toughest times, I’ve started to learn to dance in the rain.

That doesn’t mean I don’t still stumble and fall, but I know now that everything that turns out bad isn’t the end of the world and I can push through anything.

I’m not saying it’s easy or painless, but I am saying I’ve learned I’m stronger than I think I am..

Especially when being strong is the only option.

No, I’m choosing not to stay down, let life get to me or letting the world get the best of me.

I’m better than that.

I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m getting there, one step at a time.

I’m stronger, braver and wiser than I once was and instead of dwelling on what went wrong, I look for the silver lining.

I’m proud of the person that I’m becoming and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

I can look in the mirror and with courage, smile and say..

“I fell apart, I survived and I kept going..

I found a way to rise from the ashes.

Now it’s my time to change my world.”

The next story of my life is just around the corner.

It’s my favorite..

It’s when I rise again,

Strong, proud and unstoppable.
