Hang on

Hanging on when things seems glib is not so easy.

Sometimes it's even easier to stay in a situation that has gone bad rather than get out of it.

When people say 'Hang in there', what they're really saying to you is 'be strong, have faith, things will get better'.

Things do get better, then they get worse, then they get better again.

It is, unfortunately the cycle of life.

I'd like to think that the same crap happens to everyone, well, maybe just in different portions.

Everyone has a horror story to tell.

And just think, we wouldn't be around to tell it if we didn't hang on.

There is a choice, to just give up and call it a day.

But what fun would that be?

That's like a movie where after one defeat the hero stays down for the count.

No!

Every movie goer wants our hero to come back and win.

And so it is with us and life.

Life's trials can really break us, but it can also make us appreciate what we have and work harder to keep what matters most to us close.

This life is not easy.

But it doesn't have to be doom and gloom all the time.

Our happiness and peace of mind are up to us.

We have to hang on, because truly the other option is not a choice.
