It may not feel like it now, but one day this will all be over. One day you’ll look back and realize that this was all part of the journey. When you’re in the midst of it all, it’s so hard to understand that this is only temporary. Because the truth is is that things change- they have to. It’s just part of life, and like everything else, this will too.
It’s difficult to understand this when you’re going through a rough time, when all hope seems to be lost. When you all you see is dark, it’s hard to believe that that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Because, there actually is. You just haven’t found it.
You see the way life works is that nothing stays the same. It might be tempting to think that this experience that you’re having right now is defining of all the rest of your life. But, just because you’re feeling depressed now doesn’t mean you will feel like this forever. And just because you’re stuck now doesn’t mean you will be forever.
They say it’s always darkest before the dawn. Just because you don’t see it yet, doesn’t mean the end isn’t near. That’s why you have to keep pushing forward no matter what. It’s sometimes impossible to grasp this because all you see is where you are now. And where you are now is not such a pretty sight. But, I wonder if you could see your future self as they look back at you and say, “See, I told you so.”
One day you will wake up and this will be over. The sun will come out again and the storm will pass. You’ll wake up somewhere brand new, perhaps somewhere better than before. You won’t know it now, but one day you’ll know when it’s all over.
