Me and my new chapter ...

Hard Days Will Come, But I Will NOT Lose Myself

 

Hard days will come—that is certain. Change brings pain, uncertainty, and moments of doubt. But no matter how difficult the road ahead, I will NOT lose myself.

I will NOT drown in sadness or fear. I will not let heartbreak define me. I will allow myself to feel, to grieve, but I will also remind myself: I am still here. I am still standing. I am still capable of healing and rebuilding.

Grief may visit, but it will not consume me.
Fear may whisper, but it will not control me.
Memories may flood in uninvited, but I will not live in the past.

I am more than who I was before. I am becoming stronger, wiser, and braver. A brighter future awaits me, and I will step into it—one day at a time.

Every hard day will pass. Old, bitter memories will fade, making space for new, beautiful ones. Peace will come. Healing will come. And soon, I will no longer measure my worth through someone else’s eyes.

This is NOT the end. This is just a transition. And beyond this pain, there is peace, hope, and a future waiting for me.

I will hold on to that.
I will keep moving forward.

 

I had a lovely evening with two dear friends last night

opening up about my vulnerability and pain, 

and feeling deeply grateful for their empathy, love, and support. 

I look forward to the day, hopefully not too far from now, when I can raise a glass and share my happiness with them instead...

 

The past is behind me,  

the pain, 

the mistakes,

the unanswered questions, 

I have carried them long enough, but now

I choose to set them down.

Today, I close this chapter, not with regret, but with gratitude for the lessons that shaped me.

i am not looking back.

I am stepping forward - towards the life I have always deserved...

A fresh start , a new beginning, 

and a future that truly is mine.

Here is to strength, to growth, and to finally choosing myself.
