This Is For You

For the person who has been here with scars and unhealed wounds.

This particular post is for a specific person, and yes, I know that you have been here before at least once or twice in the past. This is something that I feel that I need to say, something that you need to hear. I know that you have been through a lot and it left scars. You think that no one could ever understand, that no one could empathize with you or relate to your situation. No one could possibly ever comprehend the things that you’ve been through. There are times when you feel lonely. Sometimes you’re left wondering if there is anyone out there who could possibly care.

In the past, you were so misunderstood and because you couldn’t seem to fit in, you were mistreated. You didn’t get the comfort that you needed from those who should’ve cared the most. Instead, the hand that had been dealt to you was not peace or comfort, but instead it was even more torment. I just want to say that you’re not alone. I’m sorry; sorry that I couldn’t be there for you when it all happened, but I am here now and I understand. I know what it’s like to be in your shoes, and although my situation may not have been identical to yours, I have been there. I know the pain that you carried. Oftentimes, it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it seems like there is no way out, but there can be. It’s not an easy fix and it will take time and that’s okay. What you choose to do now is in your hands. You can choose a path of healing, a journey that you can learn from, or you can choose to become bitter and resentful, repeating the vicious cycle. It’s up to you.
