Some people have their act together easily handling everything Life throws at them
But you don't know what's going on behind the curtains inside their minds
They might be giving it their best guess struggling to keep it together for everyone else's sake
It's hard to not compare yourself to other people But do try to remember
that everyone's human no one's perfect and we're all just giving life
Our best guess
When someone you love is sad there's only so much you can do to make them smile again
When someone you love is scared there's only so much you can do to chase away the demons
When somone you love is struggling there's only so much you can do to help them move forward
It's hard to accept your limits especially when it comes to helping a loved one You may not be able to fix it at all but what you can do every time
Be there Keep loving them Listen to their needs And eventually
That will be enough
When you plan for the worst You keep yourself safe but you risk closing yourself off from the best
There is so much to life and exploring it puts you at risk It's easy to get jaded and close yourself off
But when you live in the dark seeing danger everywhere you will never get to see the beauty in life
Expecting the worst might keep you alive But when you expect the best That's when you get to live
Life happens fast It hits hard, crushes us So sometimes you've gotta take a step back
This memo That message Those bills Do they need to be dealt with now? Or will they still be there?
It doesn't feel like it The constant pressure yells “DO IT NOW!” “THIS IS IMPORTANT!”
But you know what?
You are important So if you need a break Take one Because all of that life
It can wait

When you make a choice some people may disagree others may not understand even the people you love
Sometimes you have to walk through miles of darkness before you reach the light
I close my eyes and feel the soft breeze right in this moment I’m at peace
Life is full of possibilities So many paths to take With each path, is another decision That you will have to make
You didn’t get much done today Nothing big, but that’s okay You did a bunch of small things and that itself is no small thing
I can’t be happy today it hurts too much to try but on days like today it’s okay to let yourself cry
