There is a day, or shall I say so many of them where we just feel someone or something is just bringing us down. We dwell and we get so consumed by our thoughts and our perceptions of how things are and how they should rather be. There is only so much time of ours that we spend in the present. The rest goes into dreaming about the present we want to build for ourselves.
Who does not want to be happy? Who does not want to be carefree?
We are in search of perfect bodies, to the T perfection in that winged
eyeliner. The perfectly made bed, fixing that one centerpiece so it adds that
value it is supposed to.
We care for space yet also bonds. We care for drama yet also
peace, we care for stability yet also a rollercoaster of a life. We want to
settle yet also be free. We always search and ponder what we want but never
for what we need.
There are days you would not want to get out of bed or throw
on that little black dress or those great heels which not only make you look
tall but feel tall. Because sometimes the scars from the heels you wore last
night have not faded yet or you have not been able to breathe enough after that
little black dress you wore. But really, tell me what happens when you soldier
on and dress up again? For one, you get
new scars, which make the old ones fade though. But most importantly, at the
same time, you are completely healed somehow because you did not let those scars
stop you from going on.
You have pushed your boundaries a little far and beyond.
Went a little overboard on the analogy there, right? But in
all truth and only the truth, like oath-taking kind of truth, the one where I
cross my heart and hope to die, I want to tell you what so many on the earth
say “Our boundaries are our only limit”.
How we are told as kids to brush every day as it is good for our
dental hygiene, to bathe as it is good and to eat, and sleep and so on as this
is the way of life we know. But what no one tells us is to keep dreaming and to
rise after all the falling because it is good for you and your soul.
You owe a lot to yourself, more than you know, you have
dealt with so many dilemmas in life, so many heartbreaks. The fight within you
between good and evil. You have not just survived, you have sustained. You
did it yesterday and you will do it again tomorrow.
Whatever is bothering you today, would not tomorrow. You
know why, because you hold that power to rise from the ashes and come back
stronger.
Because remember You have not just survived, you have
sustained.
YOU GOT THIS. I SWEAR.
