The Sun Will Rise and So Will We

by Jennae Cecelia

It is not your responsibility to save everyone. Don’t put that kind of pressure on yourself. Do the best you can to spread your light where you can.

Sometimes you have to love people from a distance. You have the right to create boundaries. You have the right to not pick up the phone and listen.

You didn’t climb all this way, to ignore the view and just keep walking to the next place that is a goal for you.

I took a wrong turn. Hit a dead end. Wrong turn again. But I am on my way. That’s what matters. At least I am still driving with my destination in mind. I could have just given up on the roadside.

Nothing is permanent. It is beautiful and tragic all at once.

Don’t forget the roads you have crossed. The accomplishments checked off your bucket list. Maybe right now you feel in a stand still, but don’t forget all of your progress.

It hurts me that people are feeling that pain too, but oh is it comforting to know I am not so alone in those feelings anymore.
