More hope
"There are those moments when you feel you lost everything; that 'everything' meaning the last little shard of hope that was located at the bottom of your heart. That last flake of the wonderful image you once had brightening up your soul. You feel you lost it. You know you lost it.
However, you don't break down and cry anymore. You don't hit your pillow or scream or crumble stuff anymore. You don't curl up under a blanket and contemplate your terrible life anymore.
But you keep your bunch of aggressive negative thoughts under fierce control. You just acknowledge what just happened. You breathe deeply and shut the series of racing thoughts up. You only think what good, great thing this disaster will send you. You may shed a tear or two, but not more; and then get over it, in that second, and forever.
This is when you know that all the battles you fought and will fight in the future have a purpose: they build the enduring, resourceful, resilient character you need, they teach you the skills you need to forever overcome anything that life will continue to throw at you.
This is not when you know you're healed; but rather when you know you're on the right path to healing. This is when all your efforts pay off and when you notice you are better than you thought, and stronger than you ever were.
And here's to many more won battles."
