Please if you feel the world is getting the best of you do not give up. Do not turn your back on yourself or the things that matter no matter your struggle or with what you are dealing. The toughest of moments are what shows our character. You may not see it or recognize it, but it happens. Facing things, understanding things, not giving up are some of the cornerstones of life. If you give up, then you will not care what ends up happening to you or you think it will go bad anyway. Even if it does go bad, you still have so much to have hope for and to not give up. Is the world fair? I wish! It owes me some money or some of my time back if I correctly remember world. The struggles are real, but they are your struggles. They are shaping you in ways you may not understand but could be completely beneficial to your growth. In five years, you might go man I see why this, and this happened and now when it happens again, I just do this. Never forget your battles or battle scares as they are a tribute to your life and will give you memories of what you have had to overcome. Never undermine the things that you have gone through but blow them up even bigger. “Yea I was bullied and told this and that, but it was not big deal.” You do not need to do that. I would go “Yea I was looked down on for a period and was not treated well, but it made me learn what I will and will not tolerate going further.” Things like that will help show growth for yourself, will not minimize the things you are going through, will honor you for having to face these challenges. Please keep the spirit within because that is one of my favorite parts of other people. The way they react and the things that make them react. Whether these are positive or negative seeing how others go through things and deal with things has taught me lessons as well. The snowstorm outside sounds scary and will make the land look beautiful (at least to me). Though we are facing more days right now of less daylight we can still find ways to make the sun come out. There will always be some threat you may feel to your existence, so relax in knowing that you will be able to handle it when the time comes. The battles never end, and you must never let the tired creep through. This is also why it can be so important to relax and save your strength. Relaxing is not weakness when you feel focused on putting your strength on more important things. To me this is an effective way of delegating what and how you need to be doing things. There is not bottomless pit waiting to swallow you and your loved ones down there. There can be whatever you want to bring to the table. I just want what you are bringing to be good for you and for everyone around you.
