Who ever said life was going to be easy.

(This post is dedicated to my dear friend and sister Jary who is willing to reach the ocean with me and for all those who at some point have felt hopeless. If you look up you will always find the love.)

Who ever said life was going to be easy...

I have been broken-hearted, betrayed by the very people that should love me the most, abandoned, cheated, insulted and perhaps even hated. Life has not always been nice to me. I have had my fair share of challenges, some which I brought upon myself and others just a part of this journey I am living.
Sometimes I have broken down, fallen into pieces, drowned in dissapointment and felt consumed by the pain.
I have doubted myself at times. Doubted my perspective on life. Allowed the opinion of others to fog my dreams.
I have been through the soul crushing dessert. With no water to satify my thirst. No shade, just a feeling of fire consuming every bit of me. No mercy in site.
But I have risen.
That very dessert, the betrayals and broken-hearts are the fuel that have made me the person that I am. Ecouraged me to dream bigger dreams, and love with more passion and intensity then before.
I gain nothing by re-living and focusing on the misfortunes of my life.
No matter how long the walk is through the dessert, If you dont give up and continue to walk you will eventually reach the immense, limitless ocean of dreams and hope. There you will be stronger. You will be ready to face greater challenges. You will reach a place with abundance of love and people that are willing to join you selflessly on this amazing journey.

and in happy endings
no matter how many towers fall.
