There it goes. The aching neck, the tense shoulders; the burning sensation in your eyes like you haven't slept in weeks.

They call it stress. Not just your average stress. The kind of stress that takes over your entire body like a disease. It eats away any happiness you have left in you. You try to be positive so you can feel better but the pain is so severe it's easier to give into it.

It's amazing how quickly you can go from having high hopes to being the lowest of the low. You hit the ground so quickly it feels like all you did was blink and there you are lying on the floor. Wondering, how the hell you got there when you were just floating in the clouds a second ago.

All you see is black as you search frantically for light. It's not there, it's lost, you're lost. It's so dark you don't know which way to turn. One step forward and you might fall.

It's exhausting.How do we do it?

How do we find our way out?

How do you get yourself out of here in one piece?

Maybe that's the point. Maybe we have to take that step into the unknown no matter if we fall.

We're so scared of falling, of stumbling, that we freeze and wait for something to change so we don't have to hurt ourselves.

I can't wait in the darkness forever. I must take a step whether right or wrong I have to take the risk to get out of here.
