Life has been molded with ups and downs.

But it has been exactly what it was supposed to be.
You haven't lost any time.
It just took a little longer for you to be worthy of what you deserve,
For all this made you the person you are at this very moment.

Each day is a fresh start and
If you have the courage to admit when you're scared,
The humbleness to speak the truth while looking into the eye
The ability to laugh even as you cry,
The nerve to speak up even if your voice is choked,
The confidence to ask for help when you need
The wisdom to take it as it is offered,
And the confidence to stand up and run faster than before
Then you have everything you need to get yourself to a better place.
