hanging on


The semester is coming to an end, a hard semester that left me feeling hopeless and fearful. sometimes, it almost paralysed me. I guess if it taught me anything, it’s that there’s always a little more to give. Even at the point when it looks like you are going to break, there’s still more to give. Sometimes things just go horribly wrong and we are left wondering just how we are going to get through this phase, but we must soldier on-just go with the flow and keep going. At the end of it, God walks with us. There have been times when I have wanted to just give up, today is one of those days, but instead of doing that, I thought I would write instead … get some perspective. If my friend can keep walking after witnessing her baby sister’s death, I can keep going despite my pains. If my loved ones can keep walking, then so can I, one day at a time, living in the moment, taking life as it comes. Some days are full of tears, some full of joy, but still a day at a go. Before you know it, half a year has gone by. Right now, there’s an assessment that I had started but forgot to save, no point crying about it, just have to get on with it. Haven’t slept well in a few days and have been unwell. Today, even with deadlines looming, I will sleep, allow my body some reset time and get back to one day at a time in the morning, knowing that no matter what happens, I will get to where I need to be, even as stale as I feel right now.
