I’m sending love out tonight to everyone who is slowly losing their minds, whether it’s because of a battle in their relationship, a lack of a soul mate, or a never-ending cycle of unsuccessful relationships.
I know it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that you are no longer the person you used to be. It’s impossible to deny that you’re unhappy and that you’re tired of giving up on things that usually seem to go so well at the outset.
I know you wish you didn’t care about them and anything. However, this is not the case. You care about them so much that you are afraid to hope for what you long for.
That being said, never be afraid of letting go of people that are toxic to your spirit. Never put in extra hours trying to have a peaceful relationship with someone who’s perpetually at war with themselves. Never be scared to tell anyone in your life that you’re worth more than they’re offering you.
If the only thing that comforts you are the untold stories from your scars, then wear them as a badge of honour. Be proud of them knowing they hold a lifetime worth of lessons. Be proud of them knowing that one day, every scar of your life will make sense and reveal – just where you are.
If the only thing that comforts you is your acceptance that you can’t do anything about all that has been thrown at you, then let it go. Let it go and stop being a prisoner to things you can’t change. Let it go and stop participating in your own suffering. Let it go, knowing that your peace is more important than driving yourself insane trying to figure out why something happened the way it did.
If the only thing that comforts you is getting up each day and realizing how lucky you were to survive the previous day, then continue to give attention solely to people who genuinely care about your feelings. Never be concerned by people who labeled you as lazy without realizing you were merely attempting to stay alive.
If the only thing that comforts you wherever you are tonight is loving and accepting yourself exactly as you are even though they have convinced you that you are not lovable, I will beg that you continue to love yourself. Continue to love yourself knowing that not everyone you love is going to love you back.
If the only thing that comforts you right now is accepting that life goes on with or without them, then your next address will definitely be that of victory, provision and restoration.
If the only thing that comforts you right now is accepting that it is possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems then you will surely receive double, triple, quadruple, and even seven-fold for all your trouble because of what you’ve been through.
May the only thing that comforts you right now is accepting that there is hope, there is a way and that God has a plan.
No matter what you’re facing, what you’re going through, or if your situation hasn’t changed since you prayed, it is my prayer that your silent battles will become your victory songs that will inspire others who are going through the same battles and storm silently.
In Him,
Ali Papa.
