Mind chatter

I used to wonder why bad things would happen to me.

“Am I a bad person?”

“Did I deserve this?”

“Why do I hurt so much?”

“When will it be over?”

“How could I let this happen?”

“I wish I could’ve stopped it before it got this far.”

But what I’ve realized is, everything happens for a reason

Everything that happens to me, is meant to happen to me

The worst years are the best years.

The best years because those are the most important years.

Those are the years we learn the most, the years that make us who we are meant to be.

I can wonder why, I can cry, I can want to forget

But I won’t let it consume me.

I am allowed to feel what I feel

but I remember, what happens to us is meant for us.

We only feel what we allow ourselves to feel.

Don’t let it go for too long.

What is meant for us is already ours.

Breathe and embrace the lessons life has to teach us.
