Life's been no fancy picnic for me. I've been knocked down so many times I practically knew the dirt by name. Rock bottom? Trust me, I've had MULTIPLE addresses there.
But here's the real deal - each time life pushed me down, I got back up. Not because I'm special, but because I'm stubborn as hell.
There were nights I cried myself to sleep wondering how I'd make it to tomorrow. Days when the bills stacked higher than my hope.
Times when people I trusted left me hanging when I needed them most. Relationships that were violent, loosing loved ones and could deal with the pain.
Yet something inside wouldn't let me stay down.
I learned the hard way that depending on others is a quick ticket to disappointment. So I built my independence brick by brick. Not because I don't need nobody - but because I refuse to let my well-being sit in someone else's hands.
The funny thing about hitting rock bottom? You find out what you're really made of. And turns out, I'm made of tougher stuff than I thought.
My animals saw me through the darkest times. When humans let me down, my fur babies never did. They taught me about unconditional love when I'd forgotten what that looked like.
Through it all, I also found my strength in the Lord. Not gonna preach at ya, but there were moments when faith was the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.
Now I pour my energy into helping others find their own path out of the darkness. Not because I've got all the answers (Lord knows I don't), but because I know what it's like to feel completely alone.
So here I am - scars, baggage and all. Still standing. Still fighting. Still believing tomorrow can be better.
And if you're in that dark place right now? Honey, I see you. I've been you. And I promise the sun does rise again, even after the longest night.
Just keep going. One step. Then another. You're stronger than you think.
Trust me on that one. I should know. đź’•đź’•
