Light Beginning

by Angel

“New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.” I agree. New beginnings are painful. When you try something new, you always end up failing and maybe never trying it again. You go day by day never really noticing what unique factors that you never knew you would have. It’s really insignificant, but it’s reality. 

Since I’ve been locked up, I’ve been changing. It wasn’t easy, but I’m still in the process. I’ve had a struggle like everyone else has their own. I’ve wasted seventeen years going on to eighteen years of my life to finally realize I’m broken. It hurts everyday because every night, I relive all that pain. Then during the day, I process it. 

I finally realized I can’t be wasting my years away, because that’s the one thing I can’t get back. The new chapter in my life has been a big pain. I’ve wanted to give up so many times because I was trying to forget about my past, but I knew I would lose so much if I gave up. I have a good head on my shoulders. We always hear advice from adults, but most of the time we never take it. If you’re locked up, use your time wisely. Actually take the advice people are giving you. 

You got so much time on your hands, but what are you doing with it? That’s the real question. So, find something you love or interests you. Now the question you should be asking yourself is, what is your new beginning going to be? Trust and love.
