There Is A Light
I am seeing everything clearly now. I’ve been watching services of a pastor talking about God. He’s been opening my eyes to see that we are containers and it's up to us what we choose to represent ourselves as. I am not a believer of “we are nothing without God” because everybody's something. It’s a matter of what we do with this something that we all are. No I am not a Christian but I agree that there is a creator. I know because she talks to me through everything and everyone. She’s in us all, and she loves us all. If she didn't, all of us wouldn’t have had a chance to be conscious. I say if you’ve had a chance to live she’s definitely put thought into your existence. Some people don’t truly believe in her or know her, but that doesn’t stop the love that she gives. When the pastor said “without God you are nothing” I thought no. We’re all something; some of us just don’t know it yet. It’s not until we recognize her, that we realize we are something. We can live in the illusion that we’re nothing, we can think or believe it, but it’ll never be true because there’s always someone outside of us believing something different. I see this is the beauty of life; this is the meaning. Perception, realization, sight. What we see is what becomes true in our lives, but it doesn’t have to be true in other people's lives. I love that; I love how I can see other people’s greatness before they can. I love that I can acknowledge it and give people their flowers. That’s because I see the beauty in myself. That’s because the forgiveness and grace I’ve given myself is free. Whilst other people’s love and grace comes with a cost. Not to say this is wrong, but I see life becoming easier when I can have the grace to let go of people’s flaws and my own. I’m not here to be perfect; I’m here to be me. I’m not here to be right or seen by anyone other than me. I love this new era I’m in; this era of self discovery. Thank you, Divine, for always bringing me back to myself. Thank you for the ups and the downs, thank you for this roller coaster we call life. You’ve been so good to me; you’ve created me to see you. Not everyone gets this luxury so I thank you. There are some days I want to give up; some days I want to give life back to you and sleep peacefully but I comprehend why I’m here now. I’m living in gratitude now instead of despair and anger. You’ve helped me overcome this; all I had to do was ask and you were there. I’m glad you see me worthy of help. I’m glad you see me worthy of forgiveness.

Why me?. Content Warning.
Why Me? Let me be honest here. I have asked this question countless times. And yet, I don’t know why, but every time, I have received an answer. I endured repeated pain, betrayal, and manipulation. I found myself trapped in a state where I neither wished to breathe nor desired to die. I faced hopelessness, became a source of disappointment, and witnessed my own downfall as my academic excellence slipped away. I watched my hair fall to the extent that I had to cover my head at all times. I saw my mental health deteriorate day by day, and I felt myself losing my grip on reality in front of others. On several occasions, I was overwhelmed by an instinct to end my life. These were some of the most vulnerable and agonizing moments one could experience.
