"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." Move past your hardships and prepare for the good things that come afterwards. Don't let your hardships jade you or blind you to the greatness that life is offering.
Let it go! Is it really necessary to hold on to it? Let it go now. Its too heavy. Just let it go. You know you want to. Don't be afraid. You know you need to. You know life will get better once you do. Let it go now. Just let it go,
Maybe the journey isn't so much about become anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
Trust the journey. I'm finding out that God wants to teach us SO much more in than journey than He does in the destination. I'm trusting the journey because I know the destination God has promised.
