Learning is hard. But learning is a survival instinct, ingrained into our biology, bound in our DNA, inherently natural to learn so we can survive. Survival has been intertwined with humanity and existence since the world was first created... but survival is hard. A test of endurance and will that beats down the strongest to dust, a test of mental strength and the fight inside that even at its weakest desperately tries to hold on. We can seem to have everything and yet in truth... be nothing. We can smile and laugh but the sounds are hollow and brittle to our own ears. We can hear the thud of our heart under skin and flesh... but be fearful that it's too loud, too telling of the story of pain and anguish it strums out for the world to hear. We can be bones and flesh and blood and be empty husks. We can exist but not know how to live.
Yet there's always hope because with darkness comes the promise of light and just like the moon we must go through phases of emptiness to feel whole again......or sometimes we just need someone to remind us of what it feels like to spark that fire deep within us, the fire that sweeps through you like a raging inferno when you're no longer afraid of what binds you...when you finally allow yourself to be who you truly are and to reach that happiness which always seemed so impossible to achieve.
Because when you truly learn to love yourself fearlessly, irrevocably and without doubt or question then and only then will you see the world around you transform in the most beautiful of ways.
