On my way home from walking my dog this man was riding his bike towards my direction. As we crossed paths he said "Hey brother, God loves you and your dog." I cried the rest of the way home. It didn't have to be God. He could've said anyone and I would've wept regardless. But maybe it was a sign. You really don't know how your fellow human is doing sometimes but know that a little gesture or greeting can make all the difference that day. Be kind to one another. ❤️

Today I felt like this journey to feel whole again is working. Ever so slowly but it's working. Finding like-minded people and quotes I can relate with, along with writing my own feelings has helped so much more than I gave it credit. Just in this week alone I've experienced a change in my outlook. From seeing myself as a victim to realizing that I have it within myself to be happy. And once I've learned to be happy once more, maybe then I can share that with someone who wants it. I've turned down dates for that reason. And while they were a definite boost to my self-esteem and morale, I know I'm not ready to let my guard down again. The pain we experience, although excruciating, will mold us. I'm becoming a better version of myself in my career, health, and overall state of mind. And I'm proud of myself for doing it without succumbing to temporary fixes like one night stands, drugs, or alcohol. And I almost gave in. But I'm learning to forgive. Not for them but for myself. So I can let go and find myself again. And along the way, fate will decide who I'm meant for.

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

Sometimes we go through things in life, traumatic things, in order to grow. It's cliché, I know. But there's always a silver lining to every horrible situation. No matter how bleak. No matter how devastating. No matter how painful. There's always hope. Know that whatever you might be going through right now will be over someday. Nothing that ever challenges you is meant to make you weaker. So give in to your emotions. Be sad. Cry. Scream. You'll be stronger one day.
