I WANT YOU TO S T O P.
for just a moment , just a quick moment in your hectic life that you can steal another second away from the world's endless hustle. take that second and now? breathe.
whatever you're going through, your struggle, your heartbreak, your hurting— this isn't your forever. this isn't your future. you have to understand that you're living a SMALL fraction of what your life is yet to become. don't downplay these events , but don't let them consume your every thoughts either. you're more than that and you owe it to yourself, whether you want to believe it or not.
while later , i'll encourage you to slow down && enjoy these things while you can. this is for a different purpose and a different —yet similar— type of audience.
the things you're experience at this very moment? someday, you'll look back on them and smile, just slightly. i know, it's easy for me to say "things are going to get better" while you're still going to sit there and suffer because they don't. for every day will drag on a little more , and that future i'm talking about seems forever away. but sometimes? these things— these things, they're just not worth it. they're not worth beating yourself up, they're not worth stripping away the possibilities that await you, they're not worth giving up over.
it seems as though "these things" are so much bigger than what they are because we're living in them. right now. they're our present, what we have to deal with in this very instant. trust me, i understand that; i do. yet— you can't let this blind you of the beauty this world is beckoning at you still. don't let your fleeting, snap judgement of a crucial emotion dictate the attitude you have when opportunities start falling into place.
▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁
your breakup? there's millions of other guys and gals out there , not to mention YOU don't need any of them — but this doesn't mean you're stuck. it won't stop you from achieving your personal goals.
your thoughts? let something new shine let into those dark crevices, let yourself think of that something new && let it blossom. you don't have to sit and fester on the same ones.
your present? soon , you'll be in this future. so take the first step in allowing that future to be a better one than today was.
( pls understand this is just a short blurb of generalized advice. there's different circumstances && situations , i completely understand. but i'm not choosing to solely make that the focus of this chapter. ) ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁
you don't have to sit idly by as hardship strikes. you have control. you have that power to move further into a brighter area. even if it takes longer than you desired , even if you have stops along the way.
this section is your life matters, of course it does. but this isn't the ONLY section. you don't have to let shield above the others. there's still SO much of your life you haven't lived and experienced through. so much of your life that entails different circumstances.
we take away our today's and our tomorrows because we're afraid and we're hurting. you don't think that there's any part of your life that holds meaning , that right now— this feeling changes everything && it's not worth waiting on a chance of improvement. but gosh , it is. it so , really really is. i can't tell you what your future holds. i can't tell you when the world will stop casting judgement upon you. i can't tell you when this pain will end. i CAN tell you, however, you're strong enough to find out.
because it's going to get better, it will. the first step is for you to believe this within yourself, YOU have to make the choice to accept this too. closing yourself off to everything, deflects a chance at more positive alternative, even if it's only slightly so. the world won't have a flashing sign to "BETTER." it's something you have to decide internally.
it may not feel like it will help, hell- it never does. but today will end and tomorrow will begin. we only have our futures to look forward to. so let yourself start that journey. you deserve that.
