Stripped: Longing

Remember that person you used to be? Back before all this started, might've been a week, might've been a month, might've been a year or two, but remember when times were good and you didn't even notice how good they actually were? Remember when little things would irk you like traffic and people's moods? Remember when you actually had somewhere to go in that car of yours, and people to see? Remember when the world had use for you beyond being stuck behind these bars?

 

What if I told you the door to your cage was never locked? What if I told you all you had to do to get out of it, is go? Nothing and nobody can defeat us the same way we can defeat ourselves, and a strong mind can will itself out of any situation if you just refuse to give up. There's a sad reality that not everybody makes it back to where they fell from, not everybody deserved to be where they were, and in some cases luck just lines up in the wrong direction. But it comes down to you to accept that and move on, or keep trying, keep fighting, and keep longing instead of settling.

 

Handle things right, and losing it all could be the best thing that ever happened to you, because it could be the start of something better.
