believe me when i say that you are not your past, nor your mistakes . . . the future lies in the palms of your hands.
you decide on your own growth; nourish your mind and body as you would water a plant. never stop hoping and willing your life and yourself to evolve. there is no such thing as absolute rest in this universe, after all, everything is moving and changing. galaxies spin away from each other, hearts continue beating, stars send light particles through empty space. you will be able to find a way out of the cycle of pain and find inner peace in yourself. you will be happy, unburdened by bad memories and prejudices. you will be free to live the way you want to.
but give yourself time. give this life time. you will heal, trust me — or rather, trust yourself. life changes and nothing lasts eternally. this universe will always be an unfinished project and miracles can happen, for nothing is for certain. good things can burst out of nowhere. moments in which the sky holds you in its arms. you have to keep on going, no matter how hard and tiring it can be. don't give up. keep looking for fragments of light where you can find them.
if you can fall down, you can rise again.
