Wounds heal

Have you ever had that feeling when you’re deep in the water and you’re running out of air? You just try to swim to the surface as quick as possible just to be able to have a deep breath, and have the certainty you can continue breathing.

You know, it might not look this way, but I’ve been through quite a bit in my life, I had rough times, and times where I wasn’t even sure I’d pull through, but along the way I’ve learned a thing or two.
I’ve learned to carry on with life, how hard it may get, how lonely you may be, how painful it is.
I’ve learned to heal wounds.
People always say that wound heal, which is true, but scars don’t. And even if they did, I wouldn’t let them. In times of unhappiness scars remind us about the things we’ve been through, about how painful they were.  we take a look at our scars and see a glimpse of times where we had to fight to regain our happiness, we had to fight to be able to smile again.
Most people would say scars take us back to where we’d never want to go again. But actually those scars are the proof that you’ve pulled through, you fought the storm and found sunshine. You where able to be happy again.

Wounds heal, scars are just the rewards we get for our persistence in finding happiness, and succeeding in another chapter of our journey we call life.

How to be happy

When I think back when I was a kid, I remember so many beautiful things. I can still feel the excitement when the new Harry Potter book came out, or when I got a new Lego box to play with. Or when my grandpa bought me the very first Pokémon episode on cassette, just because he loved me.  I was surrounded by so many people who loved me, who really cared. Unlike now where you have to be really good at guessing if someone is being dead honest or just playing a little game just to get an act of kindness out of you. I can still recall the kids in school being mean, but at least they where honest. If we didn’t like someone back then we wouldn’t be friendly to them in their face. So where along the way did we lose that sight of honesty? Where along the way did we become so dishonest with others and even with ourselves? It’s understandable to lie to someone to keep that particular person from being hurt, because that’s a sign we care for them. It’s not always easy to find words which are truthful, but it keeps you from being someone you’re not..

We all want to be surrounded by people who truly care about you, but for that to happen we need to be that for other people first, and experience how you can truly make someone happy.
