Perfer et obdura; tolor hic tibi proderit olim I hope you'll come across this post soon. That Latin quote, i live by it & i hope you would too. It means: Be patient & tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. I know how tiring/hard/hopeless life can be, and that everything's in a mess and how you can feel like a wreck and live in despair. I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know that: You are certainly one of the most beautiful being I've ever seen, wholey. Both inside out. It's such a pity you don't see that spark that's left in you, it might be flickering dimly but I promise you it's still there within you somewhere. And you shouldn't ever give up. Everyone's recovering, in some way or another. They have a bundle of different problems that are all tangled up with each other so that it's hard to unravel a single one. It may take a long time to undo them all, or something could trigger them to come unravelled all at once. It may take a very long time to undo them all, or something could trigger them to come unravelled all at once. It's kind of like that. I'm patient, and you should be too. Let's wait. Even if things are so tangled up, we can't do anything, we'll try not to get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realise it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time. It may take a very long time, I know, and even then you may not recover completely. I've thought of all of that, too. I'll just sit and wait for you to get better. Without deadlines or guarantees. I believe in you and you should have faith in yourself too. So instead of self destructing, think of this, or think of me maybe, and when you're in bed in the morning that you can wind your spring and tell yourself you have to live another good day. Jamais oublie : Perfer et obdura; tolor hic tibi proderit olim Never forget : Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone. |
