People don’t always show you their true colors when things are going their way, but you start seeing them for who they really are when your interests conflict with theirs, when you ask them to do something for you and they don’t, even though they promised they would, or when you suddenly start speaking up about what’s bothering you and they start attacking you instead of understanding where you’re come from. The truth is, you will never truly know someone or how much you mean to them until you disagree on something or until their loyalty is put to the test.
Those who have conquered their healing journey would tell you that they have tried it all: moving to a new city, seeking therapy, reading self-help books, getting over their fears, leaving that toxic relationship, quitting their jobs, and the list goes on. They have followed every rule in the book and added their own spin on it but the most important rule is to keep fighting for yourself. That is the winning rule, everything else is just secondary.
You owe it to yourself to go on with your story, even if you have to write it without some of the main characters. Even if you have to rewrite the whole thing, even if you have to replace the characters you loved the most, your story must go on and you must always be the hero. Like a show, your life story must go on regardless of the setbacks, the bumps in the road, and the people you lose along the way.
