Fear Not

Therein lies the problem, my friend. There is

a bit of time where we know not what is

to come in the future. At this point, it's

hard to know all of what it is we wish to

with our lives do. When I find that I try

too hard to make my own path, I find it

easiest to simply relax, find my

happy place, and breathe. It does one no good

to fret over what is to come. Just take

a minute and relax, no harm will come

of tranquility; I especially

think it good when you take a second, sit

under a tree, and take a breath. See the world you

live in through the eyes of something so easily forgotten.

You will survive, you will live life. Better days will come, my friend.

You need only to keep living. Never

for a moment think that you are worthless.

You may think that, but that is not the case.

Think about it for a second. You are

alive, a beautiful creature of God.

Believe in Him or not, there is a plan

for everyone. I personally

do not, but many do. There is for certain

a plan set for all, a higher power

wherein a thing that you will find is that

it can create at will, it can destroy

on a whim. You will be able to survive

many hardships. Just remember that when

the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Therein lies the truth, my friend. You will face

problems, you will face difficulties, you

will find and you will lose. You will love, you

will hate, you will want to curl into a

ball and wish for it to stop. Why is it

that we think in such a bad way? What will you

do when you think that all is lost? Will you,

in fact, give up? Don't! You must LIVE! Realize this:

Everybody hurts, everybody breathes

everybody bends to fill a need. Deep

inside you should know what you are worth, a

life of your own. Every soul is aching

for release, you're not alone. Yes, I

paraphrased that, but the point lies true. There

will always be some battle to fight. Win!

Therein lies the point, my friend. You will face

many foes, fight many battles. Never

give up! Remember that you are loved, life

is worth living; give it time. There is a

reason we are created. Live, don't stop!

You have but one life to live, waste it not!

Enjoy the little things, you only live once.

Be not an idiot about it, feel

free to have some fun, but don't be a dan-

ger to yourself or to others. Waste life? Don't!
