The Pain is in the past.

Life is so hard. Too hard much of the time.

Life is only easy when you're dead.

We revert to the foetal position when we are at our most vulnerable. The clenching of the fists, an enduring signature of strength. The pulling in of the legs, the arching of the back; the need for warmth, a shelter for our mind. Defense by the body is the only mechanism we sometimes have to overcome adversity. But when the adversity is in the past, and the attacks still keep coming, why are we mentally under the impression that the foetel position will keep us warm, and our mind will be sheltered....and our fists will warn away adversity?

I will be here for you. I'm here not because you need me, but because I need you. Friendship from another is when you're accepted at your very lowest point. We all have our low points. At no point, either, is one person's low point worse or more severe than someone else's. That's society telling you someone else is better than you. But you know, and we all do, that we are all equal.

You don't have to hold on to the pain, to hold on the memory.

You are not what happened to you. You are who you are at the moment you choose to evaluate yourself. Your life is a sign of strength. I want you to see that the light is yourself; your own reflection. You can guide yourself.

The dark days are when your reflection is blurred. Remember that your reflection stays the same even when there's not a mirror in front of you.
