One morning, one day very soon, you will wake up with that good feeling in the pit of your stomach; that almost perfect, comforting feeling that all is well. That you are fine.

You will feel safe and loved for all that you are. You’ll feel like the world isn’t as scary as you thought, that being alive is the best thing ever. You will feel that all that weight you were carrying has finally been lifted off your tired shoulders and you will finally be able to fill your lungs with a breath of fresh air. And after all the worries, anxieties, and pains you’ve endured for months, even years, you’ll finally feel okay. Really good. And that feeling of goodness, that feeling of being okay, is going to take you by surprise.

You’ll wonder if it’s real or if you’re just dreaming. You’ll wonder if this feeling is fleeting, because after all the pain you’ve been through, this will all seem too good to be true. But he’s here to stay. You are here because you crossed all the barriers along the way. You finally managed to overcome the difficulties. You’re hurting and your body is tired, but the world is finally light again. You went through the darkness and came out on the other side. And when that relief floods your soul, when that goodness envelops you, you will remember that this is what happiness feels like.

When this morning comes, waking up won’t be difficult. You will no longer be afraid. You won’t have to fake a smile or be constantly reminding yourself to put on a brave face.

This morning, you will feel a sense of accomplishment wash over you, a sense of certainty that this is how life should be… that this is how you should be. Someone happy, someone wild, someone free.

You will no longer worry if your best is not good enough, or if you are not good enough. You will no longer be concerned about what others think of you, because deep down you will know that the most important thing is what you think about yourself. And by coming out the other side of this tunnel, you will have learned that your mind was playing tricks on you and that you were always loved.

Sometimes it’s necessary to allow your soul to show you the way

You will have learned that your anxieties do not reflect who you really are. You will have learned that happiness has always been waiting for you, even when all you could see was just darkness. And you will have learned how important it is to choose yourself and choose to fight for yourself.

When that day comes, you will feel at home in your body, a body that once felt foreign to you, a body that never felt right. You will feel at peace with the body that was never enough for you. And when your body feels at home and your thoughts feel pure, you will finally feel like you have a place in this world made for you. You will admire their differences instead of criticizing their flaws. You will look back at the mountains you had to climb and feel nothing but pride for how far you’ve come, for how many battles you’ve won.

Hard times come and go like the moon. And you will make your own way in the darkness. Your story is not over yet. It’s just getting started. You just have to keep going, and you have to promise not to give up before the good times begin. Just before the light at the end of the tunnel appears. Because believe it or not, you are about to do something wonderful. So hold on tight and wait for the tides to turn. They always change.
