Well, it ends. At some point that struggle goes away, if only for a brief moment. It may not even be something major that makes you smile. A joke, a small moment of peace, a day of perfect weather.
Cherish those moments. They may seem few and far between, but those are the moments that make life worth it.
Why am I writing this today? Cuz I know that sometimes life just seems like a swirling black hole of depression. People keep telling you that it gets better, but it never seems like it will.
Trust me, it does. It may not last, but if you make the choice to focus on the positive, on those smiles that seem to jump from your lips unexpectedly, it suddenly doesn't all seem that bad.
If you chose to focus on the suck, then the world will reflect that. If you, instead, focus on those "perfect" moments, the world will seem brighter.
Here's a challenge. When you read the news find one human interest story. Find one story that shows that there is good in the world, and focus on that. Even in the darkness that seems to consume us, there will always be one little glimmer of light. The more you focus on that light, the more you try, in your own life, to make it brighter, the more it will grow.
