You may feel as though everything in your life is crumbling.
You may feel as though only darkness surrounds you, and that that is the way things will always be. But there is always a chance of finding light, of finding happiness.
It does get better.
I don't know you. I don't know what you've gone through. I can't say that whatever pain you face will ever dissipate, that you will get over whatever form of grief you're facing. I won't lie in that sense. Grief will always linger, but that doesn't mean we aren't capable of finding happiness again.
No matter how dark life gets, I am a firm believer that there will always be a mean of finding light, whether that be bright high beams or the tiniest flicker of a lit candle.
Sometimes we grow accustomed to the darkness. Finding light scares us. We fall into hopeless despair, and the idea of learning to clutch hope again is terrifying. Because to lose the hope we tried so hard to rebuild, would hurt that much more.
We don't want to hurt more than we already have. But we're worthy of a life that goes beyond darkness. Sometimes we have to hurt to get better.
If the fire burns out once again, don't give up. Find another match. Light the flame again. Light the flame as many times as you need. You might be surprised by the various ways you can light a fire.
