When life gets really difficult, and every obstacle in the world is in your way.
And you realize how much you have to depend on you and only you, it's really hard to see any self worth.
So we hold on to whatever we can,
and we try to be someone that matters to people.
People who are just as lost and broken.
Then, we are sad when they hurt us,
even if we hurt them too.
We are angry at them for not fixing us and we resent them.
But when it is it's absolute darkest in our lives,
and there is nothing really to give you hope,
or give you a reason to keep fighting for yourself.
You have to look within, you have to know what you want,
and you have to make a choice,
to lay down or stand up.
Really the only choice is to stand up.
In this moment, is when you regain your self worth,
you take a stand and you say to yourself that you deserve more than feeling alone, you deserve more than questioning if you are loved.
You deserve more than being hurt and hiding away from the world. You deserve more than waiting for someone to love you for you again...
And you choose to love yourself again,
and not let anyone treat you as if they can hurt you,
or walk in and out of your life as they choose.
Then all of a sudden,
the dark isn't nearly as dark
and the taller you stand the brighter it gets.
You choose how you are treated,
you choose to be ignored,
and forgotten.
When you finally choose to not settle for a life or person or situation that is anything but magical,
that's when the magic begins...
