Darling,

I know there’s been many times you wondered why something happened to you and struggled to understand the why of your life.

How bad things kept happening to you when all you wanted was to be happy.

Truth is, all those tough times and rough days weren’t meant to hurt you or break you, they happened to strengthen you, to force you to grow and evolve in a way that easy living never could.

Yes, I know they were hard, they hurt and they tried to tear you apart, but they were meant to.

We often only realize who we are and what we’re capable of through things that push us to our limits..

And you’re still here, still standing, still strong.

You’ve overcome things that you once didn’t think you’d ever survive.

There are blessings in the tough stuff if you can stop questioning and start trying to understand.

Everything happens for a reason, and it’s up to us to find out why.

Maybe you’ve lost sight of who you are, perhaps you need to evolve, maybe you need to be reminded of how amazing you are..

There’s always a reason.

While there are so many people who believe in you and love you, it all starts with you..

And your love and belief in yourself.

You’ve got better days ahead and there’s true joy in the moments of your life, but you’ve got to embrace the good and the bad to make the best of the chances you get.

Things won’t always work out the way you want them to- you’ll make mistakes, fall flat on your face and hit rock bottom every now and then.

But breathe, darling, and realize these are just chapters in your story, not your entire journey.

So, rise up and stand tall.

Be proud of who you are and what you’ve accomplished.

One breath, one moment, one day at a time..

Know that you can handle anything that life throws at you..

This is your life and your choice.

It’s time you started living and stopped existing like you have for so long.

Don’t stay in the struggle..enjoy the moments when they come..and they will.

So, the next time the storms of life come crashing down all around you, pull on those rain boots and start dancing.

You can’t change the events and challenges of your days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dance in the rain.

Always remember, after every storm, there’s a rainbow waiting, just for you.
