I learnt to listen to my endless nights alone, my heart and mind both broken beyond repair.
Or so I chose to believe.
The voice in my mind telling me I was nothing, worthless. Everything pointless.
Until, eventually, my heart screamed loud enough to be heard. Reminding me again.

Reminding me that for so long as I fought that voice in my mind, I was only fighting myself.
Why wouldn't I want my own life?
It didn't make sense.
The voice in your mind doesn't want you to lose. It wants you to question it. It wants you to understand that the pain is constant.

It needs you to hear that, without listening to your heart above all else, you can be kept in the dark.

Pain will always be there. It's eternal. Without it, we will never know relief or peace.

Stop fighting and put your energy into your growth.

You are never, ever alone.
