The Strength In Our Scars

You are the one
who built your walls.

Don’t ever doubt for a second
that you have the capacity
to tear them down.

The things that hurt you
may have left scars,
but they did not destroy you.
You survived,
and there is hope in that.

If there is one thing I know, it is that life goes on. People change, and love transforms, and our hearts break and grow within us. The things we once wanted fade into new hope, we lose those we thought we would never lose, and we walk away from those we thought we would never walk away from. If there is one thing I know, it is that even through all of its confusion, even through the messiness of our existence, life continues. We push on.
