Today everything doesn’t need to make sense… it’s okay for me to be afraid as long I am willing to face these fears rather than run from them. For years I have been standing still, afraid to move forward in fear of losing everything and everyone that I’ve ever loved.

This is still my life and I am still right here, not everything has to be a worst case scenario, I just had to find the silver lining. I may be down but I have not been beaten, not yet… not ever. I make no promises as to the outcome other than I will not give up on me, just as I would never give up on you.

Where there is a problem I believe there is a solution, its not always simple or in plain sight. Sometimes we need the people we love to remind us that we are not alone, and that we are not helpless. Sometimes all it takes is one helping hand, a gesture of kindness which far exceeds that of just reach.

This heart of mine still heavy, these scars of mine still fresh. These dreams of mine still big and with each breath I am gaining strength. These eyes of mine have been opened, my fears have now been realized. This life I live is still mine and while the only thing against me now is time, I will survive.
