If there is one thing I am fortunate to have, it is people who support and have my back even in the hard times. I remember this time last year, I had one of the greatest setbacks in my life, it took a toll on me and I wasn’t even sure I would survive it. It was in a time when I shut everyone out of my life, pushed everyone around me away because all I wanted was to be by myself and face it all alone, but there was someone who would not let me be, someone who decided to stay even when it was all my fault and not so pretty.
She saw a part of me that not many have seen, I am not sure even my parents have seen that part of me, if I am to be honest, it was the first time that part of me was ever coming out. I was running away from myself, anybody around me would have ran away from me if they had seen me that way, to think it was all my fault in the first place and even though she was upset and angry at the decisions I made, even though she wanted to run away so much, she stayed to see me through it all and I remember it like it was yesterday.
I owe her a lot, I still pray I get her chance to repay her for that alone, it is something I would always remember as long as I go on living because that support did not just help me then, it made me know I was loved, it made me see I was deserving of love even when I never deserved it, and if for anything at all, I would find ways of saying thank you to her for giving me another chance at life. I would have been dead today if she never showed up when she did.
