i was reading through my journal and i found this one page and it broke me

I wrote this six years ago.

Here’s what happened in that six years: I loved more and I lost more. It took time to recover from the brokenness I felt.

Six years later I became stronger than I could have ever imagined. I used my brokenness as motivation to be better because I deserved it. Six years later I landed my dream job at Adobe. Six years later I can happily say I’ve found someone I’ll spend the rest of my life with.

It could take six years. It could take more. It could take less. What doesn’t take six years is putting yourself first. Use your pain as a transformative motivator. You can decide this for yourself whenever you want. It could take six years or it could take six seconds. Vulnerability is strength. Pain doesn’t have to break you.

He left, but I overcame.
