Not feelings alive even when you're happy is like wearing cinder blocks to a dance party
It's like running through molasses when you want to run through a meadow
It's like drinking chlorine every time you take a breath after laughing
No matter how happy you are you feel a rope around your throat keeping you hostage, stuck to your sadness even when the sun shines.
Depression, fear, sadness, exhaustion all hold you back and the harder you fight the more drained you become.
The harder you fight the more discouraged you are.
Stop and hold your breath. In your mind count to ten. If it is a rope that keeps you down, your hands have always been blades.
If it is a chain, your hands have always been torches.
You hold all the power you need to break free and I promise you'll find a way to use it.
