On the days you keep looking for the answers but the answers don't seem to come and on the days you feel like completely throwing your hands up and giving up I beg you to keep going. Just keep going. Never, ever give up. You will fail so many times and I mean countless times, like years of failure but if you give up then you will never reach success. You just have to keep pushing through. No matter what keep pushing. Today, I’m still pushing, I’m still learning and I can’t give up ever because in the years I have been persistent this is what I have learned so far:
I learned that God never once gave up on me
I learned to finally stand up for myself
I learned that addiction can come in many forms
I learned that perfection does not exist in any human
I learned that change is really, really hard
I learned that loving yourself is as important as loving others
I learned that by not giving up I finally discovered what it's like to be set free
I learned that some days would be harder than others but all days would hold a blessing
I learned who my real friends were
I learned that when people believe in you that's awesome
BUT
Really big wonderful things can happen when you believe in yourself
I learned that God does come first but this doesn't mean He wants us to neglect self-care. I have also realized that we are given trials to sharpen and strengthen who we are. We wouldn’t be able to empathize or help others had we not experienced sadness, depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss and things along those lines. It’s all part of what builds us. A necessary part of this life. Don’t give up. Promise me.
