Piano Talk

Do you ever feel like this piano?

 

I do.

 

Call me a sentimental fool, but this piano gives me hope.

 

At some point in our lives, we are all going to get beat up and battered.

 

We're going to feel like we can't do the things we once did.

 

That's one of the things I've struggled with most the last few months.

 

For so long, I didn't feel like ME.

 

I wasn't the fun, goofy, social creature I once was.

 

I was so terrified of people, that I hid in my bedroom for months.

 

Now slowly but surely, I'm coming back into myself.

 

Not the same I used to be....

 

SO MUCH BETTER.

 

I LIKE me. I LIKE the way I view the world now.

I'm CAPABLE of things that were just a dream before.

 

That's not to say I don't still hurt.

Every day is still an uphill battle, to get out of bed, to make myself look presentable, to go to work and school and be the best I can.

 

It's HARD.

 

But so incredibly worth it.

 

Change is a process. You're{most likely} not going to wake up one morning and feel whole again.

 

But if you keep doing your best, the pieces will continue to come together and you'll start to see the beauty that is....

 

YOU.

 

PS

Been kicking around an idea for a few months so I'm just going to spit it out.

I don't think for a second that I'm the only person who has a story to tell.

If you'd like to share yours anonymously or otherwise, feel free to email me at natroselewis@gmail.com

You can share just with me, or indicate you'd like it put on the blog.

I speak from experience when I say that writing is EXTREMELY THERAPUTIC.

 Even if you don't actually send your story to me, feel free to use this as motivation to put your thoughts into words.
