Each betrayal begins with trust

Resilience is often defined as "returning to the original form or bouncing back to the original position". Truth is, sometimes things will never be as they used to no matter how hard we try to fix them. It takes years to build up trust and only a single action to shatter it down to a million sharp pieces and even If someone manages to bring them back together, the cracks on  it will always be perceptible. 

Many times, people who open themselves up, love and forgive easily are considered tawpies, foolish toddlers who have not experienced pain at all. "Your life is perfect, you're perfect, you don't know how it feels". The thing is, they DO know how it feels. It takes staggering bravery to jump back on your feet after being hit hard but it takes true resilience to endure the blow and still be able to love and forgive those who aimed the strike right at you.

It is by letting our grudges diminish little by little and eventually allowing them to vanish into oblivion that we can truly learn the lessons we are meant to. Forgiving is not forgetting, it is our call not to trip over the same rock twice or more. Do not let hatred and hurt outshine your essence. ∞

-'No matter how hard I want everything to go back as it used to be I know it won't be possible, just know that I forgive you after all'-

"Every passing day, you're closer to being forgotten and even so I wish our friendship had not been killed along with our fate."

Where do you run when your own basis starts crumbling and the one you once trusted with your own life and secrets ends up betraying your trust?

Where do you go when nothing else makes sense and you find yourself surrounded by your deepest inner fears?

How can you look for shelter if you carry inside the pain you run from?

How can you hold on to faith when almost every light has faded?

Where to go? How to struggle? Who to trust?

'Keep calm and carry on', life goes on and so must we. Life's a lion fight, bear your scars proudly, they show you're a competitor, they show you've become stronger, they show you survived. Don't lick your wounds, celebrate them, just because you didn't win means you don't know how to roar.

Remember your worth, chin up, jump back on your feet, strut a little. Bury the past, and never dare to look back, there are plenty of treasures to be discovered ahead.
