It was as if life had passed without saying goodbye, and it was in abandonment, in the solitude of a dark room, that I finally found myself.
I began to see the world with the eyes of the soul, I began to make decisions based on my heart rate, I got up and turned on the light and to my surprise, life was still there.
- I opened the window and let the breeze renew the breathing air.
- The world hadn’t stopped.
- But the days went by fast and I didn’t have time to waste.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror for long and painful minutes and wondered who this woman with big eyes and messy hair was, I still don’t have the answer, but every day I find out a little more, I find myself a little more, and I love myself a little more.
I also discovered that I had millions of reasons to be grateful, so I came to understand gratitude.
I learned to be kind to myself, to be patient with my weaknesses, I learned to accept myself exactly as I am.
I learned to love my imperfect body, my skin with marks, my dark circles, I learned that my beauty is never measured by what the eyes see.
I learned to be light when my world goes dark again, learned to love, learned to forgive, and finally managed to free myself from the grudges, wounds, and traumas that were long after me.
I hugged my soul and she smiled. That’s when I found the greatest of all the treasures; I finally found the peace I had been looking for for so long.
