Get Up

Let me share this again …

I don’t know who lied to you, broke you, damaged you, took advantage of you, hurt you, left or walked away from you … but doggone it, it’s time you healed. Yes, the divorce hurt. Yes, their death stung. Yes, you didn’t think they’d be the ones to do this to you. Yes, I know it hurts but you’ve got to come to terms with it and get up. It may not be today, but you have to get up or you might not survive.

Get up, even through tears.
Get up, even if they’ve yet to apologize.
Get up, even if you still have questions.
Get up, even if you’re still hurt.
Get up, and forgive them.
Get up, and forgive you.

I put a comma after get up because I need you to get up, pause, and then take action. Baby, they may have down all the things listed above and then some. They may have tried to tamper with your joy, peace, and mind, but you’re reading this. That means you’re alive, and can see, read, and comprehend. And because you have life, you also have hope! Pause then take action. Get up and take your life back!

You survived them, now survive you! 💚
