No Pauses

“Will I be here forever? It seems so.” As soon as I hear my past self’s words echoing in my head, I want to go back and say that it’s not true. When you’re having one of those gloomy days where it seems like the heavy rocks on your shoulders will never fall, or that the knot in your stomach will never untie, you need to snap yourself out of it. No, I’m not telling you to get over it in a heartbeat. I’m telling you that those recurring moments that have felt like a freeze in time, are slowly melting. Every second you spend thinking you’re never gonna move on, you have. Just by having that thought, a little time has passed. Time doesn’t stop, and eventually you might find yourself in the same, strenuous position again. Think back at that time when time allowed you to feel, and to go. After I had experienced what I was certain was the worst day of my life, I looked back at my past self. Then I came back to the present, feeling slightly stronger. At some point the dark path will appear again, but next time I won’t be as lost.
