there comes a time in everyone's life
where they believe they are helpless.
where they think that they have sunk so low that nothing could help them
but this idea is false.
the thought that there couldn't possibly be anyone who could help them
or love them
or even make them smile
and see themselves for who they are
is not something they should believe.
when we fall short it is hard and awful
but giving into the idea that we can do no better
is way worse
it's like saying "thanks but no thanks" when a friend tries to love you.
it's like choosing to believe the worst in you is stronger than all the good.
we are not inherently evil creatures
but we do have evil inside of us.
the thing to remember here though
is the copious amounts of good that are also in us.
there cannot be good without the bad
there cannot be happiness without the struggles
there cannot be friends without faith in others
and there cannot be a solution or an absolution without the drive to change or try harder.
"fake it 'til you make it" I always say
you are stronger than this
you can handle anything life throws at you
even when you think you can't
especially when you think you can't.
so when life gives you a way to overcome what you are struggling with
take it
when you find someone who wants to bear your burdens with you
accept them
and when you finally overcome your struggle
thank those who played a part
life is so much happier when you have a support group
and you are much happier when your burdens are lifted.
you've got this
i believe in you
now
do you?
