Life isn't a walk in the park, it will rain. 
It will pour. You will hurt and you will scar.

We are all wounded in some way, shape or form. Some worse than others, whether it be emotionally damaged or physically damaged. 
That doesn't make anyone more or less hurt than anyone else. 

Everyone has their story and each and every story matters. We may have been victims at one point in time but that doesn't mean that is your title forever. 

Life is full of experiences.
Each and every one is a lesson to be learned to help you grow in this temporary life. 

Stop picking at your scabs and opening your wounds, it's causing you to bleed time and time again. 

The healing process takes time, some longer than others but don't fall into that endless pit of self pity and self loathing. That is when you begin to make yourself fall victim to your own self, only causing you to stray away from any possible growth.

The sun will come out, dry you and begin the growing process. 
Accept the past storms and storms to come, yes at the time of struggle no one will smile and enjoy it. 

Adaptation is key. 
You will never stay the same, oh no, there is always going to be change. 
You may have the same foundation as before but you have had to rebuild many times. 

Stop building the same way, modernize yourself. Yes, easier said than done. It's not going to be easy to leave your comfort zone.

Maybe you need that walk in the park, when its pouring rain to make you slip up and get hurt. It may just teach you a lesson that new paths are the way out of the self pity and self loathing. 

You may find yourself realizing that life is too short to live that way, running in the direction of the storm. You never allowed the sun to shine, you kept building while it was raining. 

The storms will pass, allow yourself time to process things. 
When you see those warm rays of light begin to break through the cloudy skies, know that the sun is coming. 

Have hope, for just one second, breathe; Exhale all of that pain you carry around. Embrace the sun when it gives you light, you must trust the strength built on those sunny days when the sun is nowhere to be found when it's dark, cloudy and pouring rain.

What you build will be destroyed, rebuild it, remaster it and prepare for more. 

Be ready for more. 
There's always more.
