We won what we didn't lose.

Somewhere down the line, we lost ourselves. We lost our minds, our identities, our hopes, dreams, illusions, disillusions, and our false identities. What we found were acceptable replacements at the time, but nothing too permanent. We wanted proof that we could lose what we had, and find it again. Unwittingly, however, not only did we lose everything, but we gained none of which we had before. We found a new self and a new life. Never before did we think it was possible, but the things we lost were forgotten with time, and what we have gained became tattooed to our souls to forever remind us of whom or what we have and can become.

We realized that we aren’t bound by gravitational shackles in every aspect of our lives.
