confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness, your willingness to wrestle your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.
The hardest thing to do everyday when you get out of bed is to convince yourself you have the strength to carry on. You're a kid, with the weight of the world on your shoulders, everyday you battle with heartbreak, anger, sadness, stress, school work, sports, boys, girls, hate, and love. We overwhelm ourselves thinking about the world in bulk, we overlook little things that really matter, and most importantly, we underestimate our own strength.
I know that i personally, roll out of bed every morning, get dressed, look at myself in the mirror, and i doubt myself. I doubt that i can ace my tests, that i can make it through the day, that i can succeed in sports. I feel like i don't have enough strength in myself to let me live. As you all know, i've been going through the biggest heartbreak of my life, i feel like i was thrown against a wall and smashed into a million tiny little pieces, and left to find the strength to put myself back together again. I believe that one day, ill be able to find that strength somewhere, but for now, i'm just making it.
"Believe you have the strength" That's what everyone tells me to do. Convince yourself that you are strong, that whatever it is you're going through, whether it be, heartbreak, divorce, a fight, a sport, convince yourself that you possess the strength to get through it, if you convince yourself that you have the strength, you're belief will help you create the fact. Trust me, i know it's hard, and me myself, some days i just want to give up. i want to throw everything i have built up, every last memory, right out the window. i want to stop trying to hard to get something i know i can never have again, but with a little help from my friends, i know that i can do it. Nicole Childers told me last night " I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it's going to be hard, and its going to hurt, and its going to take a lot of time, but you can do it, you are strong enough to do it, i believe in you."
People love you, and people believe in you, just like people believe in me. And with that in mind, you can be strong, you have the power inside you to overcome anything. Put your mind to it, its going to be hard, but you are strong! you can do it, and you can get over it. Strength overcomes all.
