Don't give up.

I want to ask you, how are you?
What heaviness are you carrying?
What tear do you hold back?
What pain, what fears are kept inside?
People don,t even look at you in the eyes.
People ask you how are you and you say "FINE", but you're never fine and they don't know that.
You start believing the lies around you, saying that you are not good enough, no one is gonna want you, you will never do anything good in your life, and the fear that we have is that we are gonna be alone because if they don't like you, then who will?
You start believing that you're not good enough, you start believing that you're a failure, and you will never ever be somebody who people would like or people would accept.
And these steps take you closer, that voice saying, you are not good enough, you are not good enough, and all you need is just one more step to fall.
You have a choice to know which step you're gonna take today.
There are somethings in life that is out of your control, that you can't change and you gotta live with. The choices you have is to either give up or keep going.
I want to ask you, what are you gonna believe?
Are you gonna believe in yourself?
Are you gonna believe everybody else's judgement on you?
you don't have to hold onto those fears, you just take one step at a time.
But can you forgive those who have hurt you? because that's when the healing starts.
Every time someone puts you down, will you make decision to bring someone else up?
Picture yourself in an open area, there's no building, no shelter, and there's a storm above you.
Those storm represents the situations in you life.
You don't tell anybody what you're going through because they wouldn't understand and they can't even help you anyway.
You're in a storm and you are down on your knees, cold, weak and you feel like this is the end.
Are you not still here?
You are still here.
You don't have to do this alone.
But hold onto that person who you think might help you.
And imagine them right now saying that they can't stop the storm right now but they will hold you and keep you warm until the storm passes, cause when they hold you, the storm's still there but it's okay.
There are sometimes in life where you fall down, and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.
give up or get up.
When you fail try again.
It is not the end until you've given up.
and just the fact that you are here should persuade you that you have another chance to get back up.
