Life can be hard sometimes. It can send you to the depths of the darkness and entrap you there, even though you have done nothing to deserve it.
Often it is other people who place you there. They put their own opinions, prejudices and dark thoughts on you so it weighs you down until you sink.
While in this murky world you can see nothing other than the pain that surrounds you and it feels like you cannot escape.
That you do not deserve anything other than the pain.
That you will drown in darkness.
There is a little voice within you that tells you things. It says you dont deserve it, it says you're not good enough, it says you'll never amount to anything.
My voice was in the form of my younger self. A young girl trapped in a school uniform, bound by her inner bullies. Crying. Always crying and hurting.
Speak to it, find out it's gripes. Find out WHY your inner voice is so bent on making you unhappy
And if it cant play nice and co-operate then inform it of the old adage - that if it has nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.
Tell it to shut up.
Silence the voice. Listen to your heart.
You deserve the fresh air on your face, redness in your cheeks, a smile on your lips.
You are young, smart and funny. The world is at your doorstep.
Be young and make mistakes. Be smart and STILL make mistakes. Then turn around and laugh at the mistakes you have made.
You have earnt the right to be happy and free with your life.
Life is for living (and all those other cliches).
It may seem like a lot of gibberish. A post full of cliches and mushy words.
It may seem like an impossibility. A lot of nonsense.
But...I cant believe that. I made it out of the darkness....so I have to believe that others will follow and find their way out too.
I dont want to see anyone else living with the same affliction I have suffered. I want to help.
Unfortunately my help seems to be coming in the form of some mad ranting & raving...
But I'm sitting here with my brand new life stretching out before me...and I can only hope that you will one day be sitting in this same position watching your life's endless possibilities unwind before you...
