What do you do when you feel like you’re losing it even
though (when you pause to consider why) you can find no just reason why you
should actually be losing it?
What do you do when everything you thought you had dealt
with shows up with the ugliest of reminders that all you’ve done is buried the
emotion, but not the pain?
What do you do when the memories you don’t want to remember
resurface in a dream that plays on repeat every, single, night?
What do you do when you cannot stop the tears from falling
and have no idea why they’re falling?
What do you do when it seems to be that everybody else has their
ish together while you cannot quite get a grip on your own?
What do you do when you finally speak your undeniable truth
out loud only for your words filled with a desperate need to be helped fall on
ears that choose not to listen?
What do you do when all you have is you and the you that you
thought you knew has given up on you to?
It's not just about this season, it's not just about the lives that we've lost. It's not just about the struggles and the battles that inevitably come with this challenging season. It's about how we as human beings seem to be evolving. It's about the fact that the more we seem to have that is available to us that should be keeping us connected we remain so disconnected and a lot of people because they are disconnected; because nobody seems to care or seems to know how to show they care, are choosing to just see their way out; they're choosing to take their own life.
This is not an easy thing to write about; it isn't an easy thing for you to read about, I'm sure, but it's something that needs to be said. We continue to shy away from speaking on the things that need to be spoken about and the interesting thing is that when we speak on these things, and we open up the door to making it okay for people to speak on these things, we can potentially save lives.
It's crazy writing about such things. I sit at home and just write. I write from a moment, a conversation, watching something or reading something... Inspiration, as you know, comes from so many different things, people and places but, it's sitting heavy on my heart at the moment to know that so many people feel lonely. I've said this before, there's a fine line between being alone and feeling lonely... It's good to get together with yourself and to be comfortable in your own company but it's not good to be lonely. It's not good for people to leave each other feeling lonely. So if you are someone who knows that for the longest time you haven't reached out to certain people I urge you to do just that.
Sometimes we think of people but we allow them to just cross our mind. The next time you think of somebody pick up the phone and flipping call them. Don't send them a WhatsApp, don't send them a DM, don't tag them in something on Facebook, pick up the phone and just say, "Hey! I was thinking of you so I thought I'd check-in".

If in our darkest moments we don't feel that we have anybody we can turn to the light goes out. Don't be the reason that somebody's light goes out.
