How are you doing? Is everything okay?

Truly reach to the depts of your heart and answer those questions because for far too long you’ve lied to those around you saying your okay. It’s okay to not be okay sometimes. It doesn’t mean to break down and give up. Give yourself time to breathe, break down if you need to but as soon as your done, you wipe those tears and get back up to face the world again. There is a finish line, whether or not you see it. That finish line could be far away or just around the corner but it’s there. There is only one thing certain, that if you give up, you wont ever know how far that finish line is.

This is how I’ve kept myself sane during the duration of my life. Life hasn’t been easy and it probably will never get any easier. The longer we live the harder it is to maintain everything we acquire in this life. Whether thats people, memories, love, career, whatever it is, the more we have, the harder it gets to hold. We will lose a lot of it and with every loss comes heart break. The heart break of knowing people you loved are gone, the career you’ve worked so hard for is so far out of reach or the love we had for living has diminished to just a necessity. This is a normal part of life.

Living in the past is what allowed for me to get to where I am, but it hadn’t allowed for me to grow. My past was my drive and motivation but the fuel had run dry the closer I got to where I wanted to be.

For the last couple months I had been working to shift perspective, learn to live in the moment and for the future. It’s not easy and I have moments of weakness. My past will always be apart of who I am, but it cannot be who I become. I have worked hard to change the flaws in which hurt others. Learning to love without suffocating those I care for. Learning to trust where trust was hard to find.

We are human, no one is stronger or better. We simply just need to build the will power to keep going. So keep going, keep running towards your dreams, your life and don’t stop because we may regret doing things or how things became but the biggest regret will come when we stop. Keep going and remind yourself once in a while that its perfectly okay to be a damn human being. No one is born a warrior, build the life you want and protect it. That’s what makes some different than others.
