To live like this.



Happiness.
Sadness.
To what end?
From that end..
The older I become,
The more I see.
That one stems from the other,
While the other is the meaning of the later.
An understanding of loss,
To new beginnings yet defined.
It's so easy to forget,
That both are derived from your actions,
And in your control.
Whether hardships or joys,
A positive,
or a negative.
It's up to you.

You can choose your narrative,
The narratives don't control you.
If you don't like what you see,
Change it.
Walk the hard road,
Make the tough choice.
It's up to you,
No one chooses for you.

Even if,
you have made some awful decisions,
Caused hurt, or pain.
You can make the change.
You can rewrite,
The how you choose to move forward.

Change the image that is looking back at you,
No matter the cost.

Even if you don't feel like you deserve it.
Do it.
Find that reason,
Make the changes,
Fight the fight,
Walk the walk.
Learn your blind spots,
Learn the whys,
Then take the steps.
Though slow it may be at first,
Easier it will become.

I wish the tears wouldn't fall,
Or the pain to stab you deeper than any literal wound could..
But it's worth it,
Find the strength,
Find you why's..

Gain the perspective,
That you're worth it,
That being Happy, and healthy is worth it.
Knowing that today only the beginning,
and definitely not the end.
That even you can be whole,
It just takes that effort,
The diligence and follow through.

So.
Remember that the happiness you see,
Came after becoming whole.
Maybe their life is or was nothing like yours.
Doesn't matter.
you can still.
Someday,
You will think back to the pain,
and hold it dear.
You will remember what loss looks like,
That pain is only the beginning,
of real happiness only once dreamt of.
