Enemies.

Who are your enemies? Is it your mom who neglected you, or is it the friend who stabbed you in the back? It could be paying rent from month to month. Is it the man who murdered your brother, or is it the guy who has it all going for him? Is it your abusive father? Maybe its your lack of education. Is it a disease your living with? Is it the man who raped you? Or is your own worst enemy yourself?

We face many enemies in life whether they be circumstances or people. We can choose to run from these things, try to bury them, or we can embrace them. To most people this sounds absurd. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

All your enemies do is put a stronghold against you. It is an invisible force that is holding you back from living life freely. So from a 17 year old girl who constantly watches people I say take your enemy by the hand and walk with them.

You have to embrace your enemy and deal with it face to face if you want to ever get past it. I do not mean you have to find the man who raped you and walk down the beach with him because that is truly twisted. What I mean is take those extremely tragic circumstances and deal with them. You may be scared to deal with what you feel or say it out loud, but you have to.

Run from your fear of feelings, and heave out your pain. Start talking, blogging, or journaling. Now.
