Motherless Child
I had a conversation with my girl today who's trying to conquer something that she feels is way beyond her. Today she asked me "how did you get over it? i wish i was as strong as you are." I had to let her know that i wasn't always this strong, i knew i had the strength in me but it took a while to finally let it surface. I told her that i was in a state of turmoil and depression for a while and it wasn't until one day that something clicked in me, and ever since that day i haven't been the same and will never be the same.
To those of you out there who are struggling with demons or fighting change, stand firm and with the armor of God. Believe in yourself and find the inner strength in you that has probably been pushed down by others. Love yourself. That's all that matters, YOU. When you hurt, you do so alone. Believe in yourself. Know that you are capable of doing things others have said you can't. I believe in you.
