Remember things always, especially if it hurts.
Your experiences are worth the heartache.
Life goes on, despite what happened.
Every mistake is an opportunity to learn.
Everyone who hurt you has taught you a lesson.
Indescribable pain will eventually fade.
Forget-me-nots now grow from the corners of my mind.
Overgrown memory gardens filled with little blue flowers
Reminding me to give myself grace–
Grace that I deserve. It wasn’t my fault.
I learned a lot from the demons she left behind.
Vanquishing them is a waste of the experience they offer me.
Even the loveliest flowers may someday wither.
You’ll never be able to change what happened then,
Only the person you become because of it.
Understand the opportunity you’ve been given. Grow and learn. We all deserve better.
