People walk through this world, carrying pain, suffering and trauma on a daily basis. People walk through this world, lost, confused, and broken without anyone to reel them back in. Life is a battle and life has the ability to change for the better or the worse.
I believe in karma, some may call it reaping what you sow, if you’re religious then you might call it either. Some believe in luck. I believe that whatever we put into the world, we will receive back in some form. That doesn’t mean that life will not hurt you and it does not mean that life will be a walk in the park simply because you’re a good human.
Life can take some of the most beautiful humans from zero to ten with one misstep. We are all one misstep from the scale tipping and the tables turning. We can quote all the cliche quotes, we can force positivity, but life is going to happen regardless. We can choose joy but that does not erase sorrow. Life is about balance and when we lose our footing, it can be a challenge to figure it out.
I lost my balance. I lost my passion. I lost myself at one point and I’m slowly rebuilding.
There have been days where it seems like it would be easy to take a handful of pills and just go to sleep. There have been days where I felt like maybe a 72 hr hold would save me! Then there are days when I remember who I am, my reason for being here and I continue to fight. It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to not always see the bright side, it’s ok to be transparent about your struggles, you’re not weak for expressing your pain. We do not know the story behind people’s struggles or even their joyous moments. Just be kind! Be kind to yourself as well.
