Another post on Grief :)

Challenges, keep you alive. Otherwise, life’s nothing but a slow death. Life itself is nothing but a big challenge you must face. Sure it’s hard. But life humbles you. As you grow old, you stop chasing the big things and start valuing the little things. Alone time, enough sleep, a good diet, long walks, and quality time with loved ones. Simplicity becomes the ultimate goal. Throughout life, we face these obstacles, some larger than others, but also some small ones too. It’s all part of being Human. You are human. You are messy and imperfect and you make mistakes. You walk around with question marks in your eyes on days like today, looking for answers from someone else. But the answers are already inside of you. Yes, you are messy - but there's a method to your madness, and that is love so large it was never meant to be drawn within the lines. Yes, you are imperfect - but your quirks and cracks are the things that make you so astoundingly, breathtakingly you. Yes, you make mistakes - but there is something spectacular in the way you don't let them take you down; you get back up every time you fall, and you come back wiser for it. And if being a strong yet soft human with a hopeful heart isn't something worth being unapologetic about - then I don't know what is. The obstacles we face change us for the better and sometimes for the worse. Some people face harder obstacles than others and some are ones that everyone will face at some point in their lives.
