Day 16

i wanted my life

to have a tragic ending

so i could write about it

dwell and drink in pain

tell people about it

and make them cry

sell my sorrows

and become famous,

i so wanted it!

but then one day

i met you

and you gave me

a happy ending.

damn you, my love!

ABOUT SECOND CHANCES

Dear Stranger,

Second chances are hard, not just for you, but for the people around you. I realise that you have already been through many trials and tribulations, and that you have done all that you can to heal yourself. You are ready to give yourself a second chance at life. I understand that you are apprehensive because second chances mean that you are allowing yourself to be hurt again. That your newly healed heart, still cracked and bruised, will have to subject itself to the possibility of pain again. I know that a second chance means returning to life and putting yourself back in the same situations that hurt you to begin with. But this time, you will be different. Better equipped to deal with those situations. You will have learned to set boundaries. You will know that sometimes people don’t hurt you with intent, and at other times they act out of malice. This time you will understand that you are in control of your own emotions, but not those of others, and because of that you will be strong enough to enforce the boundaries you have set and walk away.

I need you to know this: because you are now aware of how you used to feel, you will not make the same mistakes twice. You now know not to disrespect yourself like that ever again. You know that you have raised your standards by learning how to cope. That you have educated yourself, and cultivated a genuine respect for the person you are and for the person you would ultimately like to be. I understand that you were brave enough to begin to love yourself again, despite your flaws, and that you have also come to accept that those flaws are what make you completely unique. I see that you have put effort into forgiving yourself, even if you weren’t quite ready to do it just yet. I have seen you come through your suffering, letting go of the weight that pulled you down for so long, rebuilding yourself. That took strength and courage, and I am proud of you. I want you to know that you deserve this second chance. I see you, still suffering from time to time, and I know you sometimes feel that life isn’t fair. That your second chance, earned through so much effort, should be filled only with positivity and light. I want you to know that I am here to help you through those moments and to guide you through your second chance.

Remember: while giving yourself a second chance, you need to ask others to do the same. I know it is embarrassing, but I will be there to offer you support. I will be with you when you cut out all that is negative and toxic in your life.
