That One Charm Bracelet

I was gifted a charm bracelet by my sister recently. Each shiny coin in the chain held an engraved word:

Strength

Love

Live

Laugh

Hope

Dream

Courage

These silverplated coins reveal what I am always seeking..

"Strength" to stand back again after I've been beaten down and shattered to the core

"Love" to let the bleedingscars heal and believe that someone worth all my love is waiting on the other end, holding out for me

"Live" my life, however hard it may seem to tackle what comes the next morning

"Laugh" even when I'm breaking inside, its all worth it for this cheerful face and those twinkling eyes

"Hope" because I believe these four letters say*Hold On Pain Ends*

"Dream" with my eyes open. I've been on the guard for most of my life. But dreaming has been my constant escape from this fucked up reality, I can always escape the wreckage by dreaming for a better day

"Courage" to bring all this to action. Courage to walk away from the people who have done me more harm than good and the courage to say NO! To walk away from what or whoever lets me down, who doesn't appreciate me in any way and courage to survive goodbyes and endings to something that has always been the dearest to me

I hope you

seek and get immense Strength to get through this

get forever Love that never abandons you even at your worst or your weakest

you Live to your fullest

Laugh and make people happy around you too

Hope because its something worth to hold on to, trust me! Believe that whatever happens is for a good reason, for making a better you!

Dream because you're going to make it! It's just waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole.

And I hope you have the courage to go forward in the right direction and execute all of the above!

I believe that the blood in my veins is made up of mistakes, but these mistakes have made me what I am today! Reckless, beautiful, bruised but not broken, hopeful and still reaching out for happiness. The Sun is always there to break even the darkest of the nights, so does Hope.
