there are many things i wish i could do better as a person. one of these is to make the ones i love smile, and to smile like they mean it. there are so many things wrong with the world today, and i can change none of that. i feel useless when those around me talk about the atrocities that they've suffered, knowing that the world is designed to work against us, knowing that when things pick up for them, the universe will simply beat them down again.
still, i hope, and i dream, that one day people will be able to see that—ultimately, the only one who can give you a break is yourself. if only mental wellbeing were that simple, that your willpower would be so strong that the odds would be overcome just by waking up one day and thinking to yourself, 'today will be the day i stop moping. today will be the day i move on and be someone i am proud of.'
to those out there with depression, anxiety, any form of mental anomalies at all—you're not alone. keep trying, keep laughing, don't give up when it feels like the world and all your friends, even family, are against you. it's a never-ending cycle, but you can go on. for what? because somewhere out there, someone loves you, even if you don't know it. your life isn't just your own, but also those who love you. i may not know you, but if you're reading and resonate with any of these at all, then i'm praying for you.
king by lauren aquilina is a song that helps me whenever i'm down. i hope it does likewise for you. and if you believe in God like i do, then check out even if by mercyme, below.
with every form of love to anyone reading this,
lexine.
