Be alright

One day you will wake up and sense a mental transformation. Often this happens gradually, but at times where the past appears to haunt you as you suffer, this change will be evident because the pain will begin to ease. You will feel the weight lift off you, not entirely, but just enough for you to take a deep breath.

Even if you don't notice it right away, you will catch yourself laughing and enjoying yourself again, or simply no longer feel that you are grieving. Then you will know that this is the beginning of you moving on. It also signifies that you will soon be able to rejoice in the person you have become, having successfully overcome a situation that was quite challenging for you, which only made you stronger and wiser in the process. Personally, that's the part I'm most excited about, finally being able to look back and see what I've learned. As well as finally making room for something new and something better.

Naturally, there are days when I feel better, when I feel carefree, and there are days when the past catches up with me again, but at least now I have the certainty that these days will pass and better days lie ahead.

When you are in the midst of it, it is almost impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but once you have accepted the situation, if on one hand you give your feelings enough space and on the other hand you are patient with yourself, you can see the light quite clearly in front of you.

The only advice I can give to those who are still in the middle of it is the not very comforting one that time can heal the wounds of the past, you just have to have the necessary patience with yourself.

You will be alright!
