Second chances

There comes a time when the past becomes irrelevant. The things that mattered the most once, do not even seem real anymore. The memories that once haunted you turn into distant, incoherent flashbacks. I suppose there comes a time when the pain, the heartache, and the saddness that once engulfed you does not even feel like it ever happened. As if we have come such a long way that the things that once burned as bright as the sun have turned to dust.

I find it the funniest thing that all it takes is one sleepless night to remind you how far you have come. All it takes is lying awake one night at 3am thinking back to where you once were and not being able to remember or feel what once was. All it takes is one moment to realize the things that once destroyed you, your heart doesn't even acknowledge anymore. You can find that you have come such a long way that the pain that once was, no longer exists.

If you asked me three years ago - on this day about how I felt and if you asked me the same question today, the answers would be poles apart.

The truth is, today we might be thinking our world is falling apart but if we can find the strength to keep going then tomorrow we might not even be able to remember the ache of yesterday.
