“She had lost a lot of weight recently thinking if she
ignored it, whatever it was, would go away. She had been ignoring little things
all her life. Things like not dealing with her feelings about her mama. Or for
that matter not dealing with her disappointment of not having her daddy around
to cheer her on. Or maybe the feelings of hurt, grief that she chose to hold on
to and to hold against people she loved who were left. Nobody likes conflict,
but sweeping issues under the rug ultimately causes more damage than addressing
things directly.”
If you are struggling today,
remember this: You have survived everything you have gone through up to this
point. The best day of your life is still yet to come. There are still people
you have not met and things you have not experienced. And sometimes I have
learned that the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not obsess.
Just breathe, have faith that everything will turn out for the best.
