Hey guys! If you requested a cover/banner from me, I'm sorry it's taking a little longer. I am working on it however there's been a lot of power cuts in my area and Wifi isn't working properly so it's taking some time. Thanks for waiting!✨

@Atwin_May no problem! Take your time! The power cuts must be so frustrating. My childhood home always had power cuts at the worst times, so we always had candles ready

Chapter 1:
Leave the past, where it belongs and move on.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The past is the past for a reason.
That is where it is supposed to stay,
But some cannot let it go.
In their heads it eats away
Until all their focus becomes
The person they used to be,
The mistakes they made in their life.
Oh, if only they could see
That you cannot change what happened,
No matter how hard you try,
No matter how much you think about it,
No matter how much you cry.
What happens in your lifetime
Happens for reasons unknown,
So you have to let the cards unfold.
Let your story be shown.
Don't get wrapped up in the negative.
Be happy with what you have been given.
Live for today not tomorrow.
Get up, get out, and start living,
Because the past is the past for a reason.
It's been, and now it is gone,
So stop trying to think of ways to fix it.
It's done, it's unchangeable; move on.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You go dig up a corpse of the past and drag it into your present and wonder why your life stinks. Leave the past, in the past!
Leave the darkness of your past behind so you can focus on letting in the light of your future.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Have a great day/night ahead!

"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings."

Breathe in the fresh air,
Put your mind at ease.
Let down your hair,
Let it flow in the breeze.
Let your eyes wander
To all the beauty to be seen.
If those toxic thoughts you still do ponder,
Then let out a scream.
Scream until the pain is gone,
Until you no longer feel afraid.
Open your eyes to a new dawn,
Let the darkness fade.
No longer compare yourself
Or your flaws to others' perfections.
Take the negativity off the shelf.
Focus on your direction.
Pick the sadness up off the floor,
Sweep it into the wind.
Close the door on self-hatred.
Never let it back in.
For the lies it would often tell you,
You will no longer agree.
Happiness and love are what you should hold onto.
They are whom you should give the key.
Pay no attention to the toxic thoughts,
Listen to those who adore everything you are.
Overthinking was what you once were taught,
But now those thoughts you put in a jar.
Focus on your goals,
Never lose your fight.
It's time to open new scrolls.
Everything will be all right.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

"Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't."

It takes a lot of courage
to smile through your tears,
and from a breaking heart.
But that’s what you’ll need
to rise up out of the ashes,
a minute to crawl out
of your sadness
and make agreement
with yourself,
that no matter how bad
it looks right now,
this moment
does not define you.
It takes a lot of character,
to laugh at your fears,
and look braver than you feel,
but that’s what you’ll need
to know that your fears are not real…
to rise up out your helplessness
and decide
that this moment
will not defeat you.
Just because you have lost something,
does not mean that you have lost yourself.
That is the time when you
can let go of what you thought
you needed to complete you…
to look within you
and see that you are complete…
that you are whole and
beautiful just the way you are.
There is a reason and a purpose
for everything,
and maybe,
just when you thought
your life was falling apart,
it was actually
falling into place.
One day you’ll rise up
out of the ashes,
with a smile
On your face.

What You Can Control-
Your Beliefs
Your attitude
Your thoughts
Your perspective
How honest you are
Who your friends are
What books you read
How often you exercise
The type of food you eat
How many risks you take
How you interpret the situation
How kind you are to others
How kind you are to yourself
How often you say “I love you.”
How often you say “thank you.”
How you express your feelings
Whether or not you ask for help
How often you practice gratitude
How many times you smile today
The amount of effort you put forth
How you spend / invest your money
How much time you spend worrying
How often you think about your past
Whether or not you judge other people
Whether or not you try again after a setback
How much you appreciate the things you have
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
"When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way your respond to what is happening in your life. That's where your power is!
Don't let somebody manipulate you, you are the best and you should know it."

Have a great day/night ahead!
