Don't Give Up

You just keep going right? Even when you've given up on the very thought of hope. Pull yourself back together take one last look back and try to move forward. Learn from it the best you can and try to forget the rest. Reminding yourself it's just a moment in time, it's just a part of life, it's going to pass. Nothing last forever.

Try and pretend like it didn't hurt, pretend like it never did. Try to fool all around you including yourself. When you start to slip, keep telling yourself to get a grip, just get a better grip.

It can be hard to change a mindset after it has become your defense mechanism, your second nature, your way to cope.

But it's not impossible. It takes time and all your efforts.

When life is full of confusion who do you look to for guidance? Where can you find an outstretched hand to help you when you have fallen? Sometimes you can’t see it but there are people all around you that care and want to help. Don’t push them away. It may be an instinct but it’s not healthy or right.

Your instincts may save you in the wild but this isn't the wild. This is society. You find your place and you play your part is what is implied. You will find a place where you are truly happy. It may take a long time or it may not. Just keep believing in yourself and never stop. It may be hard work but it will be worth it.

I'm so thankful and appreciative for those who have not given up on me despite my short comings, my faults, and flaws. For believing in me when I could not believe in myself, when I could not love myself. When I am blind and unable to feel.
