I need you to get out of bed in the morning.
Its comfortable in bed.
Sometimes the thought of throwing back those covers and climbing out of bed just seems like its too much.
Lina Kivaka
Too much to face the day.
Too much to face whoever or whatever is waiting for you on the other side of the door.
Too much to put one front in front of the other.
Too much to keep breathing all day long.
Or maybe its a big one.
Either way, it can be downright scary.
And so, you want to stay in bed.
You want to shut your eyes and fade into black and let everyone and everything around you disappear.
You want to burrow so deep in those blankets that you become one with the cotton.
You just want to be still.
I know its warm.
I know its calm.
I know its safe.
But it’s crucial that you get out of bed.
I hope you see that even though its scary, its worth it.
You have it in you to keep breathing all day long.
You are capable of putting one foot in front of the other.
You have more strength than you realize.
Sometimes life is scary, and sad, and depressing.
Its true you know that.
We all know that.
Weve all felt it, too.
So take a deep breath.
Yank back those covers.
Put one foot on the floor, and then the other.
And then keep going.
you’re free to do it.
You have so much living to do.
