O God, I lived alone despite being told that I was a great friend, an irreplaceable lover, an irreplaceable sister, an unparalleled daughter, and a rare human being.
I didn’t receive what I wished for, despite being told I deserved it. I was told I deserved love, security, peace of mind, happiness, goodness, and all that is beautiful, but all I received was what I never wished to experience.
How cruel life is, never granting us what we love and desire.
Our dreams are always distant, despite their simplicity.
But we always remain patient and content, praying to God to grant us strength always and forever.
