We woke and breathed and fought.
We experienced growth one way or another, without even realizing it.
We made it through another day.

The day is over and whats been done?
We woke up at the start, continued the lives we put to bed the night before.
We pushed away bad thoughts, buried them underneath the loudest distractions our brains could conjure.
We made it through another day.
Maybe the stretch of our limbs doesnt always loosen our joints.
Maybe breathing is painful sometimes and oxygen feels like the water we do not have the gills to breathe.

Maybe every piece of land has turned to ocean and weve only just realized we never learned to swim.
Maybe some days life is choking and flailing and drowning.
But all days end.
Days, months, years.
The best part all of this is that the passing of time makes it so that nothing lasts forever.
The clock strikes the hour and the day is done.
We lay our heads onto our pillows and eventually we sleep, even if we dont really want to.
Some days our body feels like a burden rather than a friend, but it always pulls us through.
We wake with the sun and were given another chance.
We step outside and feel air against our skin.
Our pores open, allowing our surroundings to be absorbed into the deepest parts of us.
The point is, theres always something.
A spark of light at the end of each dark night.
Growth in a place where the land was once barren.
Hope after tears and seemingly endless despondency.
Strength that replaces fear.
Revelations; life is full of them.
And if you listen closely enough, each day ends with one.
We woke and breathed and fought.
We experienced growth one way or another, without even realizing it.
You made it through another day, even if it was a difficult one.
Embrace those hard days.
The days when you sigh heavily as your head hits the pillow with relief.Because you survived.You made it.
The answer is life.
The answer is everything.
