My best friend is going through a really rough time. Sometimes life does that to you. It slaps you in the face, sends you rolling down a cliff towards shark infested waters, and basically just takes a dump on you. Moving on is such a chore. It requires filing through memories without breaking down, feeling bitter, or having regrets. Moving on is about seizing the day even though you feel like it's just too damned much to grasp. Moving on is about moving through pain. Torrential pain, the barrage of emotions that just won't leave you alone. I'm reminded of my depression post from a while ago. Things seemed so bleak back then. Or that lemonade post where I'd been struggling to make a difficult choice. Sometimes the only choice is to wait and waiting sucks. Waiting for your heart to heal is the most excruciating experience. The smallest things remind you of the person or thing you've left behind-- in some cases they've been ripped from you by fate or sheer bad luck. What I want my friend to know is: I'm here for you. Although I'm going through my own obstacles, there is not one moment that passes where I'm not thinking of you. I goofed and overreacted yesterday but it's only because I really love you.
And for those who also feel this crappy, guess what? It's fine. It's normal to feel bad, normal to feel hurt. Remember the snow leopard post? Or what about this depressing post? For everyone one of my sad days I'm sure there's someone out there who has them as well-- probably ones that were even worse. The important part is to hold on to life and give it a bloodied smile as you emerge the victor from its onslaught.
Keep this thought in my mind when ppl hurt you -.-
This is us <3
