Believe

What is it that makes us push our own happiness away? In this life, we all will have pain and we will all feel grief, loss, and even to an extent some form of betrayal. But what is it, or who is it, that says it has to linger? While we all experience these bad feelings, we also do experience feelings that in an instant turn our worlds upside down. The feelings that make your heart skip a beat, your insides tingle, goosebumps arise, and the feelings that cause you to smile without being able to stop. It’s those feelings and experiences that cause you to glow. Hold onto that.

Hold onto your happiness. Let go of your hurt.

Anyone can wonder ‘what if...’ for anysituation they wish happened differently, but is it worth it? Yes, maybe that situation caused massive amounts of pain, but have you not felt one moment of happiness since then? It isat these times that we must give ourselves options and weigh them out to the greatest extremes. Do you want to cry everyday about something which cannot be changed? Or do you want to wake up in the morning, take a deep breath, smile, and embrace what today has to offer?

Storms will come in out of nowhere, damaging all we believed to begood; destroying our hearts and tainting our souls. But after every storm, somewhere, there is a rainbow glowing brightly for us to wish upon. You must understand, the rainbow you see is the last bit of the storm clashing with the rays of sunshine breaking through the clouds, and at this moment there is peace and there is clarity. In our lives, there are going to be storms, some damaging more than others, but please always remember there will be a rainbow for you. You may not always see the beauty, but it’s up to you to believe it’s there,and it’s up to you, to sometimes bring your own sunshine.

Remember the pain you have felt, but don’t live this pain. It can and will consume you if you let it. Remember before the pain, and reminisce on the moments when you felt no pain. Do you feel that? Can you feel your heart beginning to race? Perhaps an extreme urge to cry will come over you. That sensation will be you breaking free from the torment of the past that has been haunting you. The ghosts from your past are those refusing to let you go, refusing to let you live and grow. These ghosts cause you to continue to live in this torturous lifestyle with a lingering feeling of hatred, regret, and solitude.

Rise above.

You can. Look deep inside and be the wild horse running along the ocean surf. Break free and live the life you want to live. Live by your own rules and allow yourself to feel alive. It is your life, and you are the only one who can choose to make it worth living, and believe me, it’s always worth living.

Be you and be happy with who you are. You are amazing. Others will now see that rainbow, because you have become the sunshine breaking through their storms causing them to

BELIEVE.
