Freedom from my responsibility. If only I could entrust these to someone. But these obligations are mine alone to fulfill.

I long for a hand to hold that will tell me, I’ll get through all these things. That it won’t rain everyday. That If I get through these challenges, I’ll earn something.

Sometimes, all we need is someone to be there when things are rough. Someone who will simply listen.

I long for that strong girl who emerged in every single thing thrown her way. Who would not go down without a fight and do not know the word surrender. I miss you brave girl and I know you are in there hiding.

But there are certain points in our lives, where we can’t always win. Where to close off the chapter and move forward, you need to say “I give up”.

Brave girl, learn this: Surrendering does not equate to losing. Sometimes, that’s what you need to win.
