If I’ve learned anything from life, 

it’s that sometimes, 

the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places.

I’ve learned that the most toxic people can teach us 

the most important lessons; 

that our most painful struggles can grant us 

the most necessary growth; 

and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love 

can make room for the most wonderful people. 

I’ve learned that what seems like a curse in the moment 

can actually be a blessing

and that what seems like the end of the road 

is actually just the discovery

 that we are meant to travel down a different path. 

I’ve learned that no matter how difficult things seem,

there is always hope. 

And I’ve learned that no matter how powerless we feel 

or how horrible things seem, 

we can’t give up. 

We have to keep going. 

Even when it’s scary, 

even when all of our strength seems gone, 

we have to keep picking ourselves back up 

and moving forward

because whatever we’re battling in the moment, 

it will pass, and we will make it through. 

We’ve made it this far. 

We can make it through 

whatever comes next.
