Imperfect Paths

Open this book and unlock Pandora's Box... Experience the heartache that goes hand in hand with broken vows and severed bonds. Witness the crippling fear that stems from emotional blackmail, psychological abuse and depraved oppression. Feel the hopelessness that leaves us reeling in the wake of death's trauma. Reminisce of days gone by - of trust long since lost, a dying love. Shoulder the weight of self-doubt and low self-esteem, sink to the depths of hell in the absence of self-respect. Succumb to society's expectations and fall short of your dreams, give rise to the opinions and prejudices of a stranger. Keep reading to the end, and the realization that regardless of the stumbling blocks and shackles we encounter along life's journey, we must not fail ourselves - for that would be a true injustice. When we fall apart we must strive to heal and mend the precious broken pieces we have become. When it feels like we are drowning in an unrelentless thunderstorm, remember to keep swimming towards the rainbow, push towards a brighter day and the peace hidden within the calm of the storm. Success is different for everyone, but the journey towards our destiny should always be one of self-love, understanding and unfaltering faith. Imperfect paths lead to truly beautiful places, go on, see for yourself... - L.J. Diaz, Author
