The grave is all I see.

Ghosts from the past haunt me.

Life is meaningless.

Life is pointless.

We all run in circles doing what we’re told.

We’re all flightless birds trying to find shelter from the storm.

Fuck broken promises.

Fuck relationships.

Everyone let’s me down eventually.

I try.

I give and I give and I always come out empty-

hallow.

The grave is all I see for me.

Ghosts from the past-

they haunt me.

Feelings can lie to us. Feelings are NOT facts. I wrote this just a week ago. My emotions had me in a dark place. That’s the thing though… with God, I am learning to have more stability when it comes to the highs and lows.

Reflecting back on this, I want to tell my old self:

Memories and trauma can definitely come up, sometimes out of the blue.

Depression can, indeed, make life seem pointless.

Life can seem very hard at times, like a storm that we can’t escape.

People break promises… a lot. People are only human.

The thing is… when we put our faith in people, we are going to come out feeling empty. But, if we put our faith in Jesus… that is when we will feel whole.

Jesus promises to never leave us or forsake us. He promises to give us peace when we ask for it. And Jesus just wants to heal us from our past…

Now, I may still be working on healing but that doesn’t mean I can’t share about how awesome God is. And I know that one day God will make me whole. He always comes through, even if it’s through the small things.
