When things are scary and you don’t know what to do

You don’t know where to turn

Or where the next stop will be

The choices are stacking up

And the decisions feel useless

Yet you choose to push through the pain and the hurt

    Pushing through isn't always easy, but it's the best thing to do.

    This captures that heavy, uncertain space so well.
