It’s human to understand that life’s a roller coaster ride where you shall meet circumstances that’ll ache your insides upon acknowledgement, that’ll make your head spin into a spiral, circumstances that’ll bore holes into your heart and circumstances that’ll make you want to bury yourself, deep within yourself. To be human is to realise that there will be days when you wouldn’t want to wake up and leave your bed, there would be days when you’d sleep of exhaustion after screaming into your pillow, days when the same pillow would soak up all the water from the river of your sorrow, days when this river will be opulent scarlet with all the blood that you wash in it – your blood , days when you’d try to scrub dried up blood off your hands – blood that doesn’t exist. We call such days weak days and such circumstances as our weak moments.
Feeling like it’s the end of the world and weak enough to not be able to save that crumbling, shattering world, is to be real. It’s only human to feel like you’ve given it your all, that you no longer can continue life like this, that this is the end. And it is only after these honest moments when you feel utterly exposed, that you rise up stronger from the ashes of your broken selves.
More often than not we undermine the strength of our weakest point. This is the point where magic happens. Your weakest point is where miracles make the impossible, possible. This is the point after which the hearts that have been broken beyond repair, heal.
Hope is a good thing. It’s the only thing that’s entirely ours and comes from deep within. Hope to be strong enough to sew yourself up after falling apart. Hope to be willing to carve yourself out of your ashes again. Hope that there would come a time when you’d find another hand helping you with the same. Hope that you’d recognise and be willing to take that support. Hope that it’d stay and even if it doesn’t, hope that you’d trust your abilities and make it through alone. Hope that you keep fuelling this fire of hope within your soul, so that when the time comes, you rise, you become the champion who fought his own demons and mastered and tamed it.
