The story of my life hasn’t been what anyone would call a happy one. I have had several chapters of deep sorrow, pain, anguish, regrets, setbacks, betrayals, tears and hurts. I have had moments when it felt like my life was the worst on earth. My mistakes were exaggerated and my strengths, achievements and milestones were downtrodden. I have hit rock bottom countless times, I have questioned my very existence. When I smile (which is almost every minute) the world thinks I’ve got it covered. I am just one imperfect being keeping her head high and refusing to stay down. So whenever you feel like giving up, ending your life, or simply abandoning yourself, please remember that it is perfectly normal to feel that way. What isn’t acceptable, is dwelling on those feelings. Some chapters in your life’s story may be rocky and dark but they are only but mere chapters not the entire book. We all will smile again.
