And so life goes on. You lift yourself up and carry on.
It’s surely just a little set back.
I can’t let myself down by only this.
Then another one comes, and another.
You keep going, sometimes you don’t even know how you put one foot in front of the other, but you don’t give in.
And when you think you reached a point, where nothing worse can come…It can.
A bigger challenge comes your way.
You try to dodge it.
You think because you’re already crawling, not being able to stand it won’t hit you.
But it does.
Try not to think about the setbacks and challenges life has been throwing at me the last three years.
Yes, three years of roughness.
But I am so tired of getting back up again and not having peace, serenity, prosperity, progress.
I know the first incident was the biggest blow. And I had so many victories after that.
But it keeps coming back.
Countless. Countless challenges and I’m so sick of it.
But, if you meet me, if you see me across the street, if you sit by my side on the train, you’d say all is going well and that I’m super happy with how things are going.
And that is not because I’m wearing a mask, or hiding.
That’s because I’m a survivor, I’m a fighter and I believe in small winnings and that one day, one day it will calm down and I’ll start to get there.
Until then…Countless.
I’ve been there! Time after time unfortunately!

Better place now, but not there yet. Keeps getting better though, so just need to be patient. But sometimes just feels like forever (haha I sound like my kids now)

I’m still trying to heal 15 years later. it takes time but for me it’s the anger I still feel. The fact my daughter thinks her dad is a saint!

Hey, that’s something we need to accept. It’s their father and even when she knows the story, she will never be able to see it the same way. My daughter doesn’t know half of it. But because the way things happened I had to give her some insight of the situation, so she would not think I was stoping her from being with her dad. You need to get rid of the anger (haha and so do I) that is not good for us. And the truth will come up, sooner or later. ❤️

Beautiful survivor, I have been where you are. Life is a series of challenges, for sure. But for the grace of God, I don’t believe I would have made it. I’m in a better place now and you will be too. Keep getting up girl, I’m cheering you on! 🙂
