You!
Yeah
you. You know who I’m talking to.
What
are you doing?
Why
are you giving up?
Are
you really giving up before you even start?
I
know it is hard. I get that.
But
anything in this life worth fighting for is hard.
If
it was easy they wouldn’t call it a challenge.
Yes
I know your background.
Yes
I know the seemingly insurmountable obstacles you have to overcome.
I
know your past was a terrible mess.
People
have left you or turned their back on you.
Your
plans haven’t gone even remotely close to what you expected.
So
what?
There
are no guarantees in this life.
There
are no tickets to punch to take you to the life of your dreams.
There
is only hard work and sweat and roadblocks and obstacles at every turn.
You
still have a multitude of life and strength in you that you don’t even know is
there.
I
hurt for you.
It
pains me to see you give up like this when so many others have crushed life’s
obstacles under their feet.
I
know you are not them.
I
know it hurts to think of the hill you must climb.
But
I will be there with you; even if from a distance.
Even
if only one person in the world believes in you, I will be that one.
All
it takes is that first step.
Then
another….and another…and another.
You
will rise above. You will conquer this monster that will never leave you alone.
There
is no other way but up.
No
other direction but forward.
But
I cannot make that step for you.
The
first step belongs to you.
