Don't Make The Same Mistakes I Did...

A couple of months ago I was at my lowest point in life, I was lost, Falling in a downward spiral with the uncertainty of life ever going back to normal giving me no ground to land on. However one day I decided to give up on hope… Give up on waiting for life to go back to normal… Give up for even the want for solid ground to land on and build up on… But it was in that hopelessness, It was in that presence where I found myself thinking “What if I did this one thing, Took this one step…”. Before I knew it I decided to take another and another till I found I wasn’t falling, I was precariously caught on a branch aside the hole, Above the bottomless pit I had been falling down. Even though I wasn’t falling anymore I was still struggling with the uncertainties, depression, and self hate I had been. It didn’t miraculously go away as portrayed in the many movies and shows we consume in our daily lives. Life is vastly complex, unable to be summarized in an hour and a half long movie or 45 minute episode series. But even though those thoughts and feelings didn’t change and actually got worse, I decided to take another step, And as it got worse I continued to step, And sometimes I would trip and fall but I always found it in myself to get back up…
