It was the day I realized why my heart is still beating.
The best day of my life.
The love of my life told me that I was not the one for her. My father told me that I was the reason why he was a failure. My mother told me that I was a disappointment. My brother told me I was useless. My sister told me I was that I was horrible to be around. My best friend told me that I was no longer wanted. My grandmother told me that I would never be who she wanted me to be. My grandfather told me that I would never amount to anything.
But yet that was the best day of my life.
It was the best day of my life because I realized with all of that I was still alive, I was still breathing, my heart kept going. And I laughed, and I smiled, and I was able to know that with all of that, with everything they had said to me I could keep going. And I am still going, through my darkest days and my brightest nights. I am still going.
