Bianca Sparacino

The things that hurt you
may have left scars,
but they did not destroy you.
You survived,
and there is hope in that.

You are the one
who built your walls.

Don’t ever doubt for a second
that you have the capacity
to tear them down.

I hope you have the courage to go deeper. To never exist on the surface of your life, even if it’s easier or more convenient.

No one will ever fully be able to understand the internal battles you had to endure just to heal, just to grow, just to make it here today. Be proud of the way you fought to save yourself. Be proud of the way you survived.

You are not afraid of being without it, because you know that you will always have yourself.

If it is for you, trust that it will find you.

See, at the end of the day, all that you have lost is all that you have gained

Anger is not going to sweep the ashes from your bones. Resentment is not going to mend the ache, not going to shine a light into all that is cracked within you.

Your body is more than just a graveyard for those who could not love it.

goodbye isn’t really goodbye, not for someone who still cares. Not for the person left in the aftermath of a hurricane they once loved.
