Dear Diary

A New Dawn

Author's POV

Aliyah's Diary Entry

Dear Self,
I know you have cried an ocean of painful tears, that you harbor within you mountains upon mountains of fears, defeated and lost life left you in despair, and doubt wether the dark sky will oneday be clear.

Dear self, I know your sorrows, your pains, your tears, your scars, all the times you fall and how hard it was to stand back. I felt everything too but dear Self listen to me!
You are stronger than you think you are. And I know they told you to hold on to hope, to keep moving because there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.
But what if I tell you, that you have always been your hope, and the light you are looking for has always been there inside of you, waiting to gush out at your command and brighten your days!
What if I told you, that time itself can never heal you but only God can. Only He can, and fortunately, he gave you the power to heal yourself too. And the day you choose healing over pain, I mean the day you choose smiles over tears; life will surely turn around.

So dear self, know that you are heading towards a new dawn, a new day where your past stands on top of a hill, watching your present walk into the future. Dear self, I promise you, the past will always be up that hill, it will always be there watching. And Though you will never forget the friendship you shared, you will continue this journey of life, and sometimes you will turn back to smile at it, yet, never let it hold you back. Wave at it from a distance and keep going.

Dear self, go on, love as if you have never been hurt before.
Live as if  today is all you've got, I mean go on, do the crazy things you've been afraid to try, go on adventures to discover yourself, grab all the happiness in the world and stuff it into your soul. Stop lamenting on the past, you can never turn back time. Even if you do, know that you don't hold the strings of your fate and, you can never change nor escape your destiny. At the end of it, what is meant to be will always be. So, worry not about the future, it's all predestined. Even though sometimes, the future is but what you imagine it to be, it will be nothing but product of your choices and actions.

So dear self, live on, dream on, fight on and never give up on yourself, even when your world crumbles and everything seems to go wrong, even when redemption seems out of sight, just never give up! For you are and will always be your one and only savior.

Dear self, embrace love, hold on to your happiness and never ever see yourself undeserving of it. For, you deserve all the good things destiny will throw your way, never forget that.
And the hard sad days, they will come as well. But dear self, there will always be a reward for patience, there will always be better days ahead.

Dear self, no matter what, I got you!

With love,
Aleeyah❤️

n our moments of weakness, we roam around pages, searching for pictures, articles and videos, all in search of motivation and upliftment. We focus so much on searching the outside world that we forget to search within ourselves, we forget that the true motivation is that which comes from our inner self.

Next time you need motivation, look within you first.

Thin rays of the sun pierced through Aliyah's window glass, stopping only on her face, giving her skin a bright golden complexion. Her eyes were closed as she enjoyed the warm feel of the morning sun.

"I've absorbed enough." She said standing up from her seat. She then sprinted to her bed and jumped on it, she rolled over a few times and then began to toss her pillows up and then catch it.
