With time, I’ve learned to live with you. Although always discomforted by your presence, you’ve become something familiar, someone I know, someone I can count on. Today, you’re just another part of me.
It is during my prayers that I’ve come to appreciate you the most. You’ve taught me resilience, patience, and the value of each pain-free moment. You’ve given me the motivation and the drive to keep struggling for a freedom that I haven’t felt in a long time.
Freedom from the emotional weight on my mind. Freedom from the uncertainty that has filled me with fear – a shadow on my heart that has been following me for years. The freedom from the constant burden of physical pain.
Though I’ve come to accept your omnipresence in my life, like a companion I’ve learned to live with, I still carry the dream of one day ejecting you from my life. Until then, I’ll rise each morning – with you beside me, and hope within me.
