When all those shadows almost killed your light.

There are always going to be days that overwhelm us. There are always going those times where you think things would be easier if you just stopped. Someone very close to me is going through that right now. We all have our own paths to travel and no one can do it for us, so when it gets harder, when it feels like you can't break through walls, you can't keep fighting, remember there are people who love you, who would do anything for you not to feel like this.
This is one of the first times I have been on the other end, I understand what happens next, the procedures and protocols, the doors that only go one way, I know what comes next. It's not pleasant and it hurts like hell, but if you can get through that part, if you can stand up and see something worth staying for, you can make it to the horizon and you can keep going, you can accept that it this was what you needed and it's not necessarily being thankful, but being grateful that you had help when you needed it. One day at a time, that's all that you need to do.
