All Glory Comes from Daring to Begin - A Story of Beginning

I am good at stories I am told. Stories are everything I have come to learn and understand as they connect one to another. Sometimes people that would normally not connect, connect through stories. You ask, how? Simply because as humans we feel. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But ultimately through stories we are allowed to feel, to empathise, to remember, to connect, where in real life we may not be able to. The reasons for this are lengthy and full of depth.

Here I would like to tell you this short story of someone who made up their mind to become what she wanted to be. That person was sick at one point in her live and ended up in this cycle of darkness. But this story is not a story of darkness, it is of light, of someone who decided no matter how dark the situation may have been to take it up with the mind and focus on becoming the person she knew she was. In some way or another, we all do that: we think to ourselves, 'we wish we were this or that or could do this or that'. But then in most circumstances nothing happens. Why, you ask? Because nothing changes. Because the person in charge of his or her own destiny does not change, does not dare begin. In the story above, the girl decided to forge ahead in a situation that seemed hopeless. Many or even sometimes most situations seem hopeless, but it is YOU that decides to make it meaningful, to make it possible. The word 'impossible' is magical because with a mere addition of an apostrophe it becomes 'i'm possible'. The girl above is me and it is not easy to write this but sometimes it is important to share stories because stories can not only reach others but they may also heal and become signifiers themselves for the POSSIBILITY OF HOPE. And this is what I stand for: that no matter what happens, no matter how you feel if you want to change only YOU have the power to do that. And all it takes is TO BEGIN. It is easy. I promise. I have been there.
