Maybe you lost someone you never expected you would lose.
Maybe you lost yourself,
That's even worse.
When you have bad days that just won't let up,
I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are and what you are not.
You are not your mistakes.
You are not damaged goods or muddy from your failed explorations.
You are not an opinion of someone who doesn't know you.
You are a product of the lessons that you've learned.
You are wiser because you went through something terrible.
And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking.
I now believe that pain makes you stronger and I now believe that walking through a bunch of rainstorms gets you clean.
