I have been a reader here for a while, never really wanted to post my story, its just too painful... Anyways i do have difficult times around the holidays, and well I know some of you do too. But imma gift what was gifted to me today. i hope and pray it embraces you just as it has embraced me as well... I am sitting here reflecting on my life...where I came from, where I am, where I want to go......Come with me Today is Thanksgiving and everyone is always thankful for the good things they have in life, always thankful for something positive going on......What about being thankful for how you got there? Well I always stand out among the crowd and today won't be any different, so let me tell you what I'm thankful for I'm thankful for every negative word spoken to me I'm thankful for every abuse of my trust I'm thankful for every tear I've cried I'm thankful for every moment of insecurity I'm thankful for every time I have felt and been alone I'm thankful for every person that has hurt me I'm thankful for every lie ever told to me I'm thankful for every hurdle in my path I'm thankful for every time I fell to my hands & knees from the weight on my shoulders I'm thankful for every moment I felt like I couldn't breathe past my pain I'm thankful for every day that I wanted to give up WHY AM I THANKFUL FOR THESE THINGS, THESE MOMENTS???????????? I'm thankful for every negative word spoken to me because it ensures I will only continue to speak positive words I'm thankful for every abuse of my trust because it only makes me determined to trust more I'm thankful for every tear I've cried because it cleansed and restored my soul I'm thankful for every moment of insecurity because it helped me learn my worth I'm thankful for every time I have felt and been alone because it taught me to depend on myself I'm thankful for every person that has hurt me because they taught me how NOT to hurt someone I'm thankful for every lie ever told to me because it made me value honesty I'm thankful for every disappointment I've had because I appreciate success that much more I'm thankful for every hurdle in my path because it enabled me to learn how to jump over, slide under, go around, or go through anything/anyone trying to stop me from reaching my goals I'm thankful for every time I fell to my hands & knees from the weight on my shoulders because I learned that I could and would stand back up each and every time I'm thankful for every moment I felt like I couldn't breathe past my pain because it showed me that after a moment, if I just waited, my next breath would come I'm thankful for every day that I wanted to give up because it made me understand how strong I am, how competitive, how much of a fighter I am Today, on Thanksgiving, these are the things that I am truly thankful for because these things shaped who I am today.......
