Somehow I’m finding this harder than it should be. Life shouldn’t be about hiding secrets and living a life filled with lies. It should be beautiful and wondrous, not something that you wish would end. If only it was easy to look past the hurt, the blame, the dishonesty, and the burden of it all. If only I could live my life in denial. But unfortunately, this is no option for me. I must keep my head up high and look toward brighter days. It’s time to forget the past, forget the darkness, and forget the hurt. I can be strong, independent, and beautiful without all of the hardships. I can survive through my mistakes and the mistakes others have made around me. I will be the person I once was and I will live my life to the fullest. No more will I be weak and helpless; for I will stand up for myself and become the person I was meant to be.
