The Past

I had a nightmare where I lost everyone I loved: my family, my friends... I thought I could hide my pain and that time would help me forget my past. But I was wrong. Hiding it only made things worse. Thankfully, it was only a nightmare. I will try to forget it, but it won't be easy. I don't know how long I can ignore my past and be happy.

My grandmother always told me: "Life is like this. Everyone suffers. Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow. Just do what you need to do now."

And she was right! But saying this is easy; doing it is hard.

I've had many problems in my life, like everyone else, but I feel like I don't deserve to be happy. I don't know why. I've been hiding my pain since I was young, maybe even without realizing it.

Every day and every night, I try to be a good child, a good friend, a good person. I want to prove that, despite my past, I am worth it. That I deserve happiness and all that comes with it.

For now, I will try to be strong, to not let my pain win, and to never give up.
