Ya No Duele

When the pain finally subsides and stops being the center of the universe, silence grows in its place – so peaceful, it's as if the world has taken its first breath. Scars remain, but now they're like medals: they don't adorn you, but they remind you that you survived. And somewhere between the past, which no longer hurts, and the present, where it has become easier to breathe, a feeling of strength emerges - not ostentatious, but quiet, confident, lived. It's the very thing that makes a person unyielding, but not callous. Because if the heart is still beating, it's already a victory.
