To be honest, it took me quite some time to get over everything that happened these past years. I felt broken and lost without one of my closest friend. He taught me so many things, I wasn't sure how I was going to continue without his help. I cried, I pleaded, begged even, to myself, to give up and to move on. But I don't judge myself for that. Not anymore. I needed that time and in the end, I can see the progress. I'm not saying that I still don't miss him. I do, a lot, actually. But it's not holding me back anymore. I am not forgetting him, I am learning to live with the memories and to do that without pain or if that's not possible, to be happy regardless of it.
I opened a new chapter. For myself. For the girl who felt so broken and scared that she'd never heal. And for you. See, that is the thing: it's okay not to feel okay. We're only humans. But you can't let that define who you are. You're not your thoughts. You're not your anxiety. You're not your grief, your overthinking, your pain, your trauma. They don't define you. You are the only one writing your story.
Rebirth is this new chapter.
The chapter to find myself again. Because I am whole by myself, and I am yet to discover all the new, untouched parts of myself.
Rebirth is for you. And for me.
Stay brave. You deserve the world.
