Those Times

But remember this, sweet girl.
Hurting heals, too.

Ugh.
Those times.
Where everything falls apart.
And what we expected abruptly gives way to the completely unexpected.
Everything changes.
We question who we are, what we want, and everything we ever really knew someone.
or how something like this could happen.

It feels like we are standing alone in a world that has stopped.
And yet all around us, things keep moving.
We feel that kind of pain there are no words for.
The kind that makes you feel everything and nothing at the exact same time.
We have those crazy thoughts that maybe, maybe, nothing will ever be alright again.
But it will.

And listen up, sweet girl.
I know you're walking through some real stuff.
I know you think this is the worst thing that could ever happen to you.
But trust me, there is even a purpose for this.
There is.

This process you're going through is going to change you completely.
And when you come out of it,
you're going to be so much closer to the person you were meant to be.
Yes, sometimes you have to walk through a little bit of hell.
And it's going to hurt.
But that experience is not what will define you.

How you carry your scars after this?
That's who you are.
And believe me --that you-- the one you can't see right now?
That you is absloutely incredible.
So hang on, ok?
I know healing hurts like hell.
But remember this, sweet girl.
Hurting heals, too.
