Eyes Shut

It has been a tough couple of weeks but at the same time I have conquered obstacles that I would never thought I could do. I am glad that the dark times have gone and now I feel every day I am showered by some light. I am increasing my wisdom through my knowledge and the experience that I have gained. However it would be a lie to say that I have overcome by myself, but rather I should be honest and admit that I discovered that I am not as strong as I thought I was and with help from friends and family I have done more than I can image. It would be easy and possibly better to explain what has happened but I feel that I want to share some universal truth and hopefully help people out there understand that there is indeed a speck of light at the end of the grease dark tunnel. It starts off with admitting weakness and fragility and by doing this you are at the same time gaining power that was once before beyond your own imagination. Another thing I learnt was that I saw myself being at the lowest of point of my life and things look so different down there. Firstly everything around me seemed bigger than I thought, in fact it felt like I was a bug surrounded by huge feet almost stomping me to death. Secondly there seems to a sudden sense of defeat and that everything around had the ability to overpower me. So how did I scramble to the tiny light? Well it was simple: I closed my eyes, and started to imagine myself greater than I was. I began to feel more empowered and happy. Ok maybe this is farfetched and I completely understand. If I was reading this I would laugh my ass off. But I guess what I am not honest about was the amount of strength it took me to close my eyelids and think differently. Yes, the action itself was the most challenging thing I had to do. As simple as it may seem, it took my friends and family and a part of me to shut my eyes and start to create a better me. I suppose at the end, even with great effort, you might not see the light, but in that darkness start imagining that light and allow it each day to get brighter and bright. Of course a little help will be needed but at the end of the day it is your choice to do something so simple yet great to better your life.
