Dear Self

Dear Self,

You may not know this, but you have been here before. Here, in the darkest of valleys facing the devil himself. Unfortunately, more than any good woman should. I just want to remind you of a few things, if I may?

You will watch the clock and count down the hours until it’s alright to cry behind your bedroom door. You will fight back the sting in your eyes when least expected to make sure you hold it together. You will feel like you can’t breathe and the weight of the world is literally on your chest. You will drop to your knees out of nowhere and scream from the unbearable pain crushing your heart. You will be exhausted physically and emotionally from this battle. Remember, as I said, you have been here before.

But that is the beauty of this storm. It will destroy everything only to give you the chance to rebuild. Everything in your life has prepared you for here and now. Your wall of trophys is filled with every bit of hurtful bullshit and people you have survived. There is room for another and yes; you will place this time frame of betrayal and loss up upon there soon. I can promise you this because, I am the strength you have pulled from within to fight every single time someone has set out to conquer you like an award. I will not leave you and our God will never forsake you. As you are aware, life is hitting fast and hard in the ring. It will knock you down but, it can only knock you out if you let it. I won’t ring that bell to save you. Either they will leave the ring defeated or you will die still swinging. This I know about you. You can’t see it right now, which was why I needed to have this conversation with you. Don’t forget who the hell you are, where you come from, and what you believe in. Learn and grow as this match is preparing you for greatness. You must suffer in order to obtain it. I’m sorry but, there is no other way. However, I suggest you embrace it and let your demons free. The rest will take care of itself.

They can’t break you anymore. You’re already perfectly broken.
