Your Mark
Your mark makes you different from others, it defines who you are and who you choose to be in life, you may go through ups and downs, but know that it is up to you how you make your mark in life, in the people you’re around, and even in history, create your life, create your days, create your mark, it will be up to you, who you turn into.

Think Of Tomorrow
No matter how much pain I feel when I can’t get out of bed on some days, I still think about what tomorrow will bring, I think about how hopefully tomorrow I won’t be in pain, that the day will be bright, even though I can’t get out of bed right now, hopefully tomorrow I will walk again, sometimes I worry, because I don’t know how long I will be in bed, born sick, but fighting most of my life to live, I feel like I can relate to some people in the world, but not all, I know that others have it harder or worse than me and thats true, but I’m happy that I continue to hope for better, look at the brighter side of things, and yet I’m happy that even though it takes courage to fight and hope for another day, I’m strong enough, because some people aren’t, and I have to be.

Pain Hides in Plain Sight
I saw a woman sitting in her car—parked, engine off, keys limp in her hand like she’d forgotten why she held them in the first place. She was a million miles away from herself, staring through the windshield as if the world outside didn’t exist or maybe existed too much. I couldn’t tell if her mind was racing or if she was numb, and maybe that’s the thing about pain: it swings between the two until you can’t tell the difference. When it’s sharp, it consumes you, cuts through everything. But after a while, it dulls. It doesn’t hurt less; it just burrows deeper, and you go numb to survive it.
