The Climb Out ~ June 30, 2016

We can choose to be victims, or choose to be avid students on a journey of self-discovery.
Things do not happen to us, but instead happen for us.
Therefore,
Let yourself fall into the rabbit hole.
Allow yourself to feel the sharp heart wrenching pain as you hit the floor.
Stay there for a little while and relish in your anger.
Savor that moment where you, dumb founded, realize how naively foolish you have been.
Humbled even more now, take a short rest.
Having given too much, you have earned this.
Life has started weighing on your soul.
Like a bag of tea you quietly seep into the depth of your thoughts.
But then after a long while, once you have fully digested all of it,
You start dancing with the idea that there is nothing wrong with you.
Instead, you have this epiphany:
Being different is not a burden; it’s what sets you apart.
You are light inside a universe full of dark matter.
The sun gives off its light so that your energy may give off color.
Your very existence sheds happiness and a glimmer of hope into this world.
And as you gain back your strength and get back up, you realize that you have one of the universe’s greatest treasure.
Resilience.
You will ALWAYS rise above stronger than before.
