One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lie in bed and hide from everything.People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you through the most beautiful path youve known, but sometimes the same people let go of your hand without warning, and you become stranded at a place where you never thought youd feel lost.Lets be honest, sometimes everything is going so great and it seems like nothing could go wrong, but right when you begin to think that, something so horrible comes crashing down and all of a sudden more problems come drowning around you and you just feel so hopeless because its so badIts so hard to understand why such things happen in life, and I personally wish I had an answer to that “why” you always ask yourself, but all I can say is no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep going.
