Stepping.

Things don't always go the way we expect...



And actually sometimes they do the exact opposite.



Like in recent times. Things have gone down that I would've never expected to happen to people I'd least expect to go through them. But they happen for a reason, however cliche, and we have to keep on going. We live, and we learn. And sometimes we take a few steps back. But we were never meant to keep stepping back after that.



I was never meant to keep stepping back.



I did though...and I feel bad for it. But from here on I'm going to keep stepping forward like I did tonight. Sometimes its hard, but we do it anyways. Not everything comes easy. Stepping is just one of those things that doesn't for me. There's so much weight sometimes we just want to sleep it off and stay put. But where do we get from that? Nowhere. Much better to explore and be hurt, then get up, and keep moving. Give ourselves reason and purpose. Goals even.

I have a few...and they'll be reached.

As long as I keep stepping.



I wish I could've stopped a few people from stepping backwards. But it's their choice and their lives. I can only support them in getting back where they need to be. And I am. But you know, it's always tough.



We live in a strange world. Things happen out of nowhere, and sometimes right in front of our very eyes. But we just gotta go with it.

We gotta get up.

Get going.

Live our lives.

And find our happiness.



Because it's there. It's reachable. It's right in front of us, and it has been all along. All we ever have to do is open our eyes.



Even if that's scary.



It's just what we gotta do.
