Hurted souls

You cannot become who you’re meant to be while clinging to who you used to be.”
Growth is not always loud or glamorous — sometimes it looks like quietly outgrowing the people, habits, and versions of yourself that once felt safe. It’s realizing that comfort and purpose rarely live in the same place. The past version of you fought hard to survive, but the next version of you is ready to thrive. And that means loosening your grip on what no longer fits — even if it once defined you.

Saying goodbye to your old self isn’t rejection; it’s gratitude. You honor who you were by allowing yourself to evolve. The lessons stay, but the limitations don’t have to. Growth demands a gentle goodbye — not because the past was wrong, but because you’ve finally learned everything it came to teach you. So let go, lovingly. The person you’re becoming is waiting on the other side of that release.

I have lived at my lowest for a long time and even today, I still do. To be honest, my life is still circling on waking up and striving to go through the day. Each day, the universe gives me countless of patience test. Things don’t always turn out as planned and time doesn’t always go on my side. Sometimes the rain pours when I forget to bring an umbrella, the sun rises or sinks sooner than I expected, and people stay for a much shorter time than I wished they did. Most of the times tunnels seem endless making me feel like I’ll never get a glimpse of light again. But despite life’s unforgiving surprises, despite how draining a day can be, I still manage to get up the next day with a heart coated with a fresh pack of hope.

You see, my life’s a mess; but I still know in my heart that better days will come. All the lows—heartbreaks, skipped meals, 2ams, goodbyes, all those years I’ve spent setting myself aside for others—I don’t think I’ve gone through all that for nothing. I know my suffering has a reward. I know my season will come. Until then, I’ll keep on trusting the universe.
