As I sit and think about my life-
Where I’ve been, what I’ve done..even the challenges I’ve faced-
Something stands out at me every time.
There were many times that I’ve wanted something so badly…
Whether it was a new job, a potential love, even the small things, too,
I always ended up finding my way to something better than what I set out to get.
At the time, all I could focus on was that I was disappointed and discouraged about not getting what I wanted…
But now that time has passed,
I realize that everything happens for a reason..
And it’s always because I deserved better.
A better love story, a higher quality job, even a more appealing future.
Every door that closed led me to the door I was always meant to enter.
Truthfully, I couldn’t be more thankful for the broken hearts that taught me and strengthened me, dead ends that opened my eyes and setbacks that turned into comebacks.
I couldn’t see it at the time, but everything happens the way it is meant to..
And that’s not comforting when you’re hurting.
But the older I’ve gotten and the more stuff that I’ve been through, I realize that the bigger picture of my life isn’t something I’ll always see when I’m in the middle of a struggle.
I have to hold onto the fact that I deserve the best out of life and I’m never going to settle for less.
So, as I sit back and take a sip of my drink, I can’t help but smile just a little.
Every broken road has led me right to where I’m meant to be..
And I’m going to make the most out of every opportunity, each day and all the dreams I have for myself…
I’m worth that…and so much more.
