You know you are strong.
You promise yourself that you will never let anybody hurt you
or stop you from doing what you love.
And that will be true.
You will keep that promise for quite a while,
so long, that it comes naturally to you now.
Being stubborn and headstrong, and confident.

But one day, there will be a boy,
a boy you never saw coming.
He will steal your heart bit by bit,
and before you know it, you will be helplessly in love.
you will experience infatuation like you never had before.
you will go through emotions you thought were locked away for years.
you will shed tears over the boy you love.
you will get hurt
over and over again.
the boy will completely destroy you.



But, that is okay.
because you will learn,
slowly,
that life is not about shielding yourself from the world
and trying to be alone so you wouldn't get hurt.
No,
it's about opening yourself up,
and reaching out to everything you can touch.

You will learn
that it does not matter if you got hurt,
if you're a wreck,
because its what you do after that, that matters.

Getting hurt is only the beginning.
You will learn that sometimes,
in order for something to improve,
it has to be completely broken down,
before it rebuilds itself with even more light.

It will cease bit by bit everyday, the pain.
It will never stop hurting, no,
but now, you are no longer blinded by desperation.
You will look back with a smile on your lips,
and a whisper of memories.
Remembering the good, not only the bad.
And I promise you will wake up everyday,
with your head set straight,
and your heart beating loud and proud,

because you are strong.
