Theme: Life
Synopsis: Life is a huge ball of uncertainty. Some days you're standing strong and conquering; some days you're just enduring everything.
With all the turmoil going around,
You may have been unaware;
But I'm certain that, at least once, you find yourself hanging on the bridge in the middle of pushing through and discontinuing—
Having to choose between striving and ceasing.
And it's fine—there's nothing wrong with that.
I've been there too, in the place where everything's foggy and I can't see clearly.
I've had an idea that I'm smart enough, but it's different when your heart's covered with fear.
Afraid that, maybe this is it. This is where I'll stop—this is where all hopes disappear.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Take joy, for you are still here.
Despite the loud banging in your chest, you've managed to breath.
Though there's this little voice in your head telling you to quit, you don't have to submit.
You might have been struggling yesterday, but you are standing still today.
You might have chosen to runaway, but you chose to stay.
And that shall be enough.
For living isn't always about striving;
Some days, it's about enduring.
