STILL BURNING.
<p>Sometimes life puts you in places you never imagined you would be.</p><p>Places where you feel tired of being strong.</p><p>Places where you question yourself.</p><p>Places where you wonder if all the pain is ever going to end.</p><p>You smile when people ask if you are okay.</p><p>You say, “I am fine,”</p><p>even when your heart is screaming for a break.</p><p>You keep moving,</p><p>even when everything inside you is begging you to stop.</p><p>And somehow,</p><p>you are still here.</p><p>Maybe you have been through things you never talk about.</p><p>Maybe there were nights when you cried until you had no tears left.</p><p>Maybe you lost people you thought would stay forever.</p><p>Maybe some dreams slipped through your fingers.</p><p>Maybe life did not turn out the way you planned.</p><p>But look at you.</p><p>You are still standing.</p><p>The fire may have changed you,</p><p>but it did not finish you.</p><p>It may have taken away your peace for a while.</p><p>It may have made you question your worth.</p><p>It may have left scars that nobody else can see.</p><p>But scars are not proof that you are broken.</p><p>They are proof that something tried to break you</p><p>and failed.</p><p>So do not be ashamed of the person you became while trying to survive.</p><p>You do not have to be the same person you were before the pain.</p><p>Maybe you are quieter now.</p><p>Maybe you think differently.</p><p>Maybe you no longer chase people who make you feel unwanted.</p><p>Maybe you have learned to protect your peace.</p><p>Maybe you have finally realized that losing someone</p><p>does not mean losing yourself.</p><p>And if all you can do today is take one more step,</p><p>take it.</p><p>If all you can do is breathe,</p><p>breathe.</p><p>If you need to rest,</p><p>rest.</p><p>Just do not convince yourself that your story is over</p><p>because one chapter became painful.</p><p>A bad chapter is not a bad ending.</p><p>The flame may become smaller.</p><p>It may flicker.</p><p>It may look like it is about to disappear.</p><p>But sometimes,</p><p>all it needs is a little time</p><p>to burn again.</p><p>So when life tells you that you are not strong enough,</p><p>remember every difficult day you have already survived.</p><p>Remember the version of you</p><p>who thought they would never make it this far.</p><p>Look at them.</p><p>They made it.</p><p>And so will you.</p><p>Because you are not the darkness surrounding you.</p><p>You are the little flame that refused to go out.</p><p>Still here.</p><p>Still breathing.</p><p>Still hoping.</p><p>Still becoming.</p><p>Still burning. 🔥💎</p>
