The light at the end of the tunnel

I woke up this morning and had a dreadful feeling enveloping my head.

I began my day, unsure if I wanted to start it just yet. It was a feeling of despair and desolation. It’s really not a great sensation, and I’m sure many of you felt like this at one point in your life. 

I understand it’s not a very pleasant story so far, but not everything is always happy, and I believe this too should be told. 

Facing adversity and coming out on the other side as a better person is a beautiful thing. You’ll say, “well, it’s not really adversity, you just felt depressed,” and you’d be right: it wasn’t that bad, but you still have to make a choice regardless. Of course, I’m not saying this as an umbrella statement that can cure-all. All I’m saying is what works for me, and maybe it can work for you too.

I ended up focusing on what I can actually achieve for this moment in time, even if it’s a tiny speck in the whole time and space. I thought about what I could achieve and how much I still had to do, but I couldn’t simply be bothered by the fact that this task was gigantic. It’s a choice I make to continue fighting for another day. Again, that’s me, and I know it’s not necessarily the same for everyone, but I hope you can see the light in the darkness, even if it’s dimly lit. It’s worth looking for it; it’s worth fighting for it.

What do you think? Let me know.
