Whether you realized it or not, the time passed.
Without you having to even try, joy emerged from your days.
Whether you realized it or not, the time passed.
David Fröhlich
Without you having to even try, joy emerged from your days.
One day, something small brought you a little ease, and then a little more.
You realized that everything was going to be okay, even if it doesnt always feel okay.
You let the waves crash, and then you let them recede.
Whether you realized it or not, you found courage.
You felt worse than you were capable of feeling, you suffered loss that you couldnt have conceived prior.
You were awakened to reality, which is sometimes cold, and sometimes hard, and sometimes brutally unfair.
But also, unimaginably sweet.
Because while you were mourning what you thought would be, you also found softness.
You discovered how important it is to love the people nearest to you, and how invaluable they are.
You began to appreciate what you didnt see before.
You began to know that you were enough, because you decided what was enough.
Whether you realized it or not, you became resilient.
You explored the perimeters of what your heart could hold, and how much it could process.
You discovered that your strength is limitless, you just dont know what if its never been tested before.
And over time, what was once impossible became easy.
The life you have today is a mere dream of the past.
The things you do right now were once the things you only could have ever prayed to have.
Its not always something we can achieve, or find.
just remember all of the times you were truly heartbroken, truly let down.
Then remember all of the nights you dreamed of being where you are right now.
The days you spent working and planning and hoping that it would all work out.
In one way or another, a path was made where it did not exist before.
The opportunities showed up.
The doors creaked open.
You met the people who youd spend years of your life with, people who were once strangers.
You discovered things about yourself you did not yet know.
You learned what it takes to feel safe, and not.
You learned what you enjoy, and what you dont.
You learned what you value, and what you dont.
You found yourself, not because you were searching, but because you were cornered.
When discomfort in life peaks, we are left to look around and wonder why.
You will move the pieces in front of you today.
You will arrive to the horizon youre gazing at in due time.
That even if you dont believe youre worthy, youre always given enough.
That even if you dont believe youre lovable, youre always loved.
That even if you dont think theres a way forward, there always is.
