I like to think, that there are three stages of life referring not to life, but the amount of life we have in us.I call them lose,learn,love. Lose refers to those times when we are so lost in a pit of darkness that there seems to be no light. Those moments where we just want to collapse and never get back up again, the loss of life within ourselves.
Learning is about deciding that we are tired of losing. Tired of letting life and ourselves trample us down. Just letting ourselves learn to live, letting ourselves learn to have life. Growing.
Finally, there is love, which is the place where we should always be. Love is really the love of life. The times when we take what we learned and use it to be truly happy. We can smile as we walk down the hallway, we can sleep without tears on our pillow, we can really live.
This is my lose,learn,love story. A story of a young girl who has a hard time learning to love herself, a girl who loses a world she used to know, and a girl who lives a life she regrets. Although this is my story, I hope that you, as the reader, can also find your story in mine.
