Them - The people you used to be who didn't believe you would become anything. Them - The voices and signs and thoughts that made you ever doubt yourself. Them - The feelings left when you felt convinced all hope or purpose was lost. Them - The nightmares and the worries and the trauma that bind your heart right now. Them - The cruel things people said to you that you've struggled with for a long time. Them - The inklings of promises you remember breaking when it hurt somebody who mattered. Them - The fears we have sharing who we are when we're opening up to someone new. Them - The matches where your back was on the mat and you chose not get back up. Them - The challenges you couldn't win and all of the inner demons you lost to. Them - The moments where you feel guilty for making the right choice at the right time. Them - The winter days when you let your loved ones down because you missed the sun and the light. Them - The times you doubted yourself that you somehow just can't seem to let go of. Don't prove them wrong. Let them go, but thank them first because it's them who made you who you are.
