I don’t think I have ever been more at peace and ease with my life or myself. Ever. I also don’t think the bracelet provided that for me, but I was wearing it on the journey to get to where I am now. For as long as I can remember, until the end of 2017, I was never sure of anything. I was never sure of myself and what I was capable of doing in life. I was never sure of anyone’s love for me or how long it may last. I was never sure of my worth. I believed I was disposable. And now? Now everything is different. I am learning what I am capable of. I am understanding that some people do love me and it’s not conditional and I believe that I am worthy of that love. Things happen in life. We face trials that have no solution. We cross paths with people who destroy us. We make excuses for those people and blame ourselves because that’s easier than admitting some people are just not good. Our happiness slips away from us and before we know it we don’t even recognize who we are. So, we fight like hell to get everything back. We accept the trials and work with them instead of against them. We reach a point of understanding that it’s okay to remove those people that destroy us. We stop blaming ourselves for the mistakes of others. And we take our happiness back.
To whoever is reading this: Find your happiness. Things in life are so much easier to handle when your soul is happy. Be a breath of fresh air for someone. Forgive quickly, but don’t allow people to treat you badly. And please, understand that you are valuable. You are worth fighting for. There is something so beautiful about people with compassionate and encouraging souls.
Be one of those people.
Chelsea
