 "The best way out is always through"

-Robert Frost

 

I'm someone who is always looking for the easy way out of things. Didn't go to class for a whole week? Print a fake doctors note. Don't feel like cleaning my room even though you can't see the floor? Make a path to the bed.

Things like that are a dime a dozen in all of our lives but the real, deep problems which we face are a lot more complicated. You can't print a note to get out of family problems. You can ignore the mess when it's clothes on the floor, but not so much when it's your home on the line. These problems seem hopeless and overwhelming. They have us feeling defeated before we've even begun to fight. But deep down we know the truth: one day it will all be over. We just have to get through it. We have to take a deep breath and walk that road through the storm until we finally emerge into sunlight. It may take years or maybe only a few days, I don't know. But I do know that no matter who you are or what your situation is you have the ability to make it through to the end. And rest assured that you aren't going to have to walk through alone, there are plenty of people in the same position who you'll bump into along the way. And asking them for help isn't a weakness, don't worry. Awesome things await you at the end one day, but today you have to start walking. Good luck on your journey.
