Sentimental post warning: Almost 6 years ago I moved to this city and I had 5 pairs of underwear , no money, was dependent on another person for a place to live, was growing out a horrid haircut and was completely broke figuratively and literally, but I knew one thing . One day I wouldnt be. I worked at Starbucks in the tunnel of the Chase tower and I would go for slow run/walks in nice neighborhoods and promise myself I was never going back to the life I used to know and one day I would live in a house like that. Today I went for a run from my place in midtown and I took a run down memory lane. I ran by the tower that when I moved here had all of the windows blown out from a recent hurricane. I ran past the building and I smiled as I looked up at it. Because despite all the setbacks, the moments I struggled , the moments it felt like my dreams were so out of reach, I think that scared lonely girl who moved here so many years ago would be pleased. Ive gotten everything I ever dreamed of in this city and more. And I have never been alone not once. This city has taken me in, set me on a new path and embraced me. My God has guided me and led me to the kind of life I never could have imagined. And it just keeps getting better. So I will keep running, keep waking up with determination and I will keep giving the glory to God. Because without him I am nothing and all of this belongs to him. Life is better on this side of the dirt. If you are struggling, you must not give up. You might just be in the resistance phase of a spiritual breakthrough.
