Girl, get up!

Girl, you are slowly dissolving into dust, your head splitting apart under blow after blow of stones. You see yourself breaking, shattering into pieces scattered all around, and try as you might, you can no longer gather them together. Today there is no one beside you. The you that was within you has today scattered carelessly into a million fragments; you cannot find anyone now to tell you which pieces are worth keeping or might prove useful.

Yes, girl, you are exactly where you need to be! From this moment begins your journey! Hide yourself for as long as necessary. You don't always need to reveal yourself. Let them see that you have vanished. Let them be happy in that sight. Don't rush off anywhere suddenly—learn the roads before you leave. Take time, pay attention to yourself. Remember, you are broken. So your life is no longer as simple as ten other people's lives. Understanding this is crucial. Remember, God gives sorrow only to those who have the strength to bear it. You will never receive more sorrow than you can endure.

Walk slowly...there's no hurry, there is time.

I know you think that when you were breaking, that was the most painful chapter of your life. Actually, it isn't. Turn the page. You'll see the next chapter is even longer. In that chapter you will heal yourself, lift yourself up, unfold yourself, return from darkness to light. There a new you will be born. Be patient, now is the time to hold yourself together. Know that your task is not easy.

Also know this—you have within you the strength to finish this chapter. Because you broke, today you have learned how to rebuild yourself. The extra treasure you now possess is courage. Many wait their entire lives and never receive it. Today you have nothing left to lose. So today is only your time to gain. Having lost everything, today you are destitute. Whatever you gain now is pure bonus! How many are blessed with such fortune, tell me!

Leave behind everything unnecessary about yourself right here. To move forward, you must let go. You must release all attachment to everything you yourself created, if those things now hinder your progress. Don't cling, girl! To live, you must let go.

You are alive not to stop, but to grow. Don't stay in places that aren't yours, no matter how comfortable they may be! If you stay, you will suffer more, be certain of it. Better an unknown enemy who keeps you alive than a familiar friend who kills you.

Girl, can you hear me? What happened to you hasn't happened to you alone. We too have stories, we have wounds. The world doesn't listen to stories of those who cannot heal their wounds. Know that the entire world waits to hear your story. Count your wounds. Blood still flows from each cut. Those are not drops of blood, they are fierce reasons to push yourself forward. Each of your tears springs from that very heart that gazes toward your face. Your entire soul today cries out, saying: Now is the time! This very moment! Turn around and stand! Girl, can you hear my words?

Believe me, this blow was necessary. People grow through wounds. Without receiving this blow, you never would have known yourself. Today's you was born only after being wounded. Today you know who you are and who you are not; where you will go and where you won't. You also know which wrong chapters of life you will never return to again. Today, even if a hundred tried, they could no longer make you bleed.

Don't grieve, don't apologize, don't feel remorse. You have moved beyond that time. Then no one forgave you, no one stood by you, no one spoke two kind words to you. So all that now is mere luxury, pointless waste of time. There's nothing to grieve about what you are. Your mistakes are what made you.

Why sorrow over everything in your life that brought you to today's position? Why embarrassment? Why regret? Not a single moment of the time that has passed was wasted. This time was needed for you to understand your own worth. This is not merely time, this is your great teacher. Bow your head before the teacher—has anyone ever learned by cursing their teacher?

Girl, step out of all your comfort zones. Right now! Immediately withdraw your attention from all the places you were supposed to belong. The time is different now. Don't listen to anyone—they don't know what you're going through! They've never experienced your sorrow, so they don't know which direction leads to your happiness. They are happy, let them be happy; don't compare yourself to them. People cannot understand sorrows they haven't experienced themselves. Yet some people offer opinions about unfamiliar sorrows. Girl, you know well enough—you don't have to listen to the worthless!

Girl, wake up before it's too late! Today's strength is your achievement, no one gave it to you. You live today by your own power, not by anyone's mercy! This is not the time to live keeping others' expectations in mind. Don't let anyone else set your worth anymore. People are cruel, thoughtless; given the chance, they will always undervalue others! Know your worth yourself, understand it yourself, learn it yourself. You have truly reached a place where it will take those who don't understand you today a long time to arrive.

Celebrate your sorrow! Stand up, girl! No more pain—today you know how to endure pain! Show the world that all this time the entire world has truly misunderstood you!
