1 year ago I was completely in LOVE with my life. I mean, not on cloud 9, but instead looking down on that from a place so high that nothing could bring me down. My life changed before I knew what was happening. I lost my family, my home, my partner, my income, and it felt like life was trying to break me in order to punish me for being so deliriously happy. Months have gone by, and Ive started to regain some of what I had lost. My family took form anew, one less person, but still a family. I got a different place to live; a place of my own and no one elses. I got back my income and climbed back to my feet. Im still brushing off the dust and mending my bruises, but nothing is broken. Im stronger, wiser, and harder for everything that Ive been thru. Theres still miles to go before I rest, and I still stumble and fall from time to time. I still get caught up in sadness and guilt, thinking of what Ive lost and mourning for that cloud 9 happiness I want so badly. But Im living. Im here. And Im proof that no matter how lost you feel, no matter how much gets thrown at you, you are stronger than you ever thought yourself to be. When surviving is the only option, you learn how to dance in the madness instead of letting the chaos blow you away.
