Can You Fix It

Divergent: Find another way out

I am not stuck, just waiting for the right direction

Victory is closer than you think.

Every day is a new day to find your way to regroup

Running from a problem may not be the answer.

Give it time, the solution will come.

Everyone meets a crossroad; no one is an exception.

No one is born without a problem to solve

Take your time; you cannot stay stuck forever.

  • It’s a sad yet powerful realization. To me it meant that we are now adults and it all depends on us, on our decisions. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming 😳
