"There's a reason for the world- You and I"
Sometime every grain of your existence seems to shift at once, seems to sink down, seems to join forces with all the other specs of negativity in your life and overpower the good, so that all at once, in one thunderous jolt, your very foundation experiences a stomach-turning second of free fall. That second is horror. That second might be a day, a week, a year. But ultimately, that second is just that. In the universe, it's a second. The hardest part is not questioning that second. As you're free-falling, as you're sinking, if all you do is ask yourself questions- why am I doing this? why is this happening to me? does it get any better?- then how can you ever know when to stick out your arms and catch yourself? If you're so preoccupied with introspection, how can you ever be prepared to land? One day, things will get better. One day, you'll overcome that fear. You'll reach that goal. One day they'll get along, and along the way, you'll learn to get along without them. But you have to be awake enough to realize when you've hit the ground. You have to stay conscious, even when all you want to do is shut your eyes and sleep, so that when the fall ends, you'll be ready to land.
