No Man is an Island

No man is an island so they say.As a child that grew up so fast,I never really got to understand that part. I have learnt that you cannot stand alone no matter how strong you are.No matter the power you think you got it the cards of life will deal with you a proper one and you gonna need someone to get you out.When you are younger,you think older people don’t know a thing.You think they are suffocating you because they got nothing else to do.So you rebel and no matter how many times they try to tell you to watch your step,you think what do they know.Well you keep at the path and many years later you are stuck.And you don’t know what to do because it hurts to have been wrong and it hurts more to lose all those years.So you stay and do everything to make it better.You wear make up to occasions just to hide the sorrows and if you are a man you get flashy cars to hide your pain.Some people get a side piece to treat their egos.If it’s a career choice that went left you take up a business that you have passion for to heal your wounds.The worst thing is not even the pain that comes with staying,it is the fact every day you make up more lies to cover up for why you feel the way you do.You wake up everyday look at your children’s faces and hold on to the dream.The mental damage is so extensive that even you can’t tell you are hurting.Here is a fun fact though,you don’t have to be a super person,you can talk to someone.You can share what you are going through.The shame you are feeling is overwhelming but trust me when I say it’s only as strong as the power you give it.Accept that you messed up, accept that it was a wrong choice and accept that they are your mistakes.Once you do ,you will realize that it won’t have any power anymore.Wear you consequences with pride,wear your scars with honor because only you can rise above. Wake up each day and take away the power your past over you.As soon as you do you will attract amazing people,your life will begin to flow.And those scars you hate so much,you will start to realize the lessons they taught you can be useful.The good things that come to you from now on,you will cherish them and then you can salvage what’d left of your dreams.Wear your scars with honor and no one can never use your choices to hurt you. You aren’t alone ,you just need to find your niche and you can rise above.
