Hope
There is always Hope
Hope is what keeps me alive, my reason.
I remember when someone once told me that I could not do or achieve what I wanted. I even remember when some people tried to stop my blessings and tear me down. The crazy part of all this is, it's always the people closest to you. That one person that you thought that you needed their approval or support to succeed.
Years kept going by and I am feeling beaten and defeated. I was in a very dark space, in a place that I couldn't see the way out. I didn’t know what to do, how to overcome the fear of failing and trying again. Yes, failing! Everyone fails. No one is perfect… Growing up i’ve always thought that life could be perfect. That you can decide how, when and with whom you would share your life moments with, but believe me it’s definitely not that simple.
I have learned the hard way that God always has a plan but everything happens for a reason. The most important thing is God’s timing is always the best timing. It doesn’t matter how you planned your life, your achievements, your expectations. It will never be how or when you want it to be.

Looking back on my younger self it’s kind of crazy sometimes. Seeing how far I’ve come and the person that I am today. I have definitely lived ,loved,laughed and cried. Lost love and still searching. Yes i am searching... searching for answers. Answers about some part of my life story that I still can’t understand but choose to accept. Questions about people I have loved in the past but have grown to hate and can’t find the strength to forgive. Am I a bad person? I ask myself sometimes… How do you forgive someone who has hurt you that bad that you wanted to disappear. How do you forgive someone who has lied about your character and integrity? My dad always say; “pray about it”. I prayed and the only answer was to ‘let it go and let it be’.
“The most important thing in this life of uncertainty is that you know who you are and what you stand for. People will always judge and hate from the sidelines, but that says more about them than it does about you”.
