UnDimmable.
The younger you needs to hear your words of wisdom. The younger you needs to hear how you got through. The younger you needs to hear your voice. The younger you needs to be freed.
dear Quia,
You weren’t ready. You could’ve never been ready for the warfare. For the terror. For the darkness that swallowed your purity. You weren’t ready. You weren’t taught to speak up. You weren’t taught to know the evils of this world. You weren’t taught self defense. You had no recollection of death or murder. You couldn’t have killed him. There is no possible way. Your light shined too bright and unfortunately someone tried to rob you of that.
Remember that light cannot be stolen.
It cannot be erased. It is always with you. He did not steal your soul. He did not break your spirit. He did not thwart your peace. He broke your past but your present has the opportunity to be whatever you want it to be. Broken? Or rebuilt? You are beautiful. You are victorious.
You are not dirty.
You are not deserving of pain. You are worthy of love. You stand tall above your insecurities and fears. You stand tall above your doubts and your downfalls. You will not fall. God’s net never fails you. You will hate the world. You will hate humans. You will hate family. But never hate. Love the universe and it will love you back. Your pain will comfort someone else someday.
Your story will rescue someone from their silence.
Your trauma will bring insanity and then balance. Your life is your life. Your response is your response. Never hate yourself or anyone else. Hate the evil. Hate the darkness within but still befriend the demons so you can get to know them. Get to know them so you can know when to stay away. Get to know them so you never have to run into them again. Be aware and embrace the power of light that will always outshine.
Always shine.
