Right now, at this stage of my life, I am very content.
I have beautiful friends, a loving family and so much that I'm so lucky to have gained along the way on this treacherous journey that I am so glad to have over come.
My life has not always been the best, but it has never been the worst. I have gained and lost many loved ones , family members and friends. I have had a childhood that many would class as a early maturity step for I have always had to push through to act a little older than my age.
I'm petrified of what comes ahead but I will not take for granted the positives that have been invisible for so long.
At the age of six I knew bad within good and all my life since I have scavenged to find the best in people; I hope for more. I know that life is not purely black or white and there is both good and bad in ever single one of us. It is what we choose to act upon though those actions do not define us. We make mistakes and we hurt and bleed until we truly believe there is nothing left of us.
But let me tell you, there is always something left. Maybe just the dribble at the bottom of the bottle or the last final grain of salt in the shaker but we can always be refilled.
Do not claim to be broken but reject all possible fix. Do not cry until you're empty because tears do no good. Do not let anger rule you because it creates the things we wish to run from.
I beg you, do not listen when they tell you 'don't be afraid', as though we can duck from the slap, stay unburned at the touch of fire or hold our breath under water for a life time. This is life and I am afraid. I will not sugar coat the bad but I promise that the good is worth every single second of the wrenching pain in your chest; you just have to look for it.
Do not wallow in pain and search for no light, sometimes, it's not too hard to find the switch.
