When the Going Gets Tough

My world used to feel so right, but now
Everything’s so different from what I had imagined.
I fell from the highest peak and I lost what I never really had

But then, 
Maybe it doesn't have to be right
Or even okay
I guess sometimes it can just be.

And at those points in time
When it feels like everything is crashing all around you
Don’t let go, don’t get lost because who knows when you’ll find yourself again
And who knows what you’ll have missed while you were too busy spinning circles in 
your mind.

Hang tight, with all you've got. Because in the end
It will be worth all you struggled with and everything will just be
Fine.

I think is is known as discovery, those little adventures in life, some filled with adversity help determine the charecter of a person. It is nice to see you exploring the possibilities. Finding yourself is the beauty of the journey. I enjoyed the freshness and openess of your write
