It seems that everything is stacked against me and anything that could go wrong..does.
There are a lot of days when I get up and I have no idea how I’m going to make it through the day.
I’m worried, I’m afraid and I doubt myself in those moments sometimes..
But somehow, those are the days when j look in the mirror and pause.
I take a deep breath, clench my fists and remind myself just who I am.
How I’ve survived so much to get to where I am now and how strong I’ve become.
I took a long look at the person I’ve fought to become and I smile with pride.
Most people would have quit.
Many others wouldn’t have made it to where I am..
But then,
I’m not like the rest of them.
I’m a warrior with a heart of gold and the will to survive.
Maybe things don’t always turn out like I want them to be, but I always get what I need when I need it and I make it work.
I’m a survivor, a scrapper, a fighter.
I pick up the pieces like I have so many times before and I figure it out.
I won’t tell you it’s glamorous and pretty how I get through the hard times..
But it doesn’t have to be.
What matters is that at the end of the day, I’m still standing.
Maybe I’m bruised and beaten up a little bit..and that’s okay.
I’ll regroup and recover and rise again tomorrow, renewed and determined to grow and get better.
So, that’s just what I do.
And when the first light of a new day finds me, there’s a smile on my face a renewed vigor in my soul.
No matter how the day goes or the challenges that face me,
I’ll get through it all.
With character, strength and grace.
Most of all, I do it my way.
I’ve got this..and I always will.
