Day 294 "Breaking The Silence And Leading Us Home"

We all struggle with so much, and at times it can feel like we are going to be crushed beneath it all.
There is so much weight from these desires, these fears, these expectations, and all these losses.
We are told that it matters only that you pick yourself up, and this may be true, but in the middle of a storm that won’t seem to pass, this is easier said than done.
Not every battle can be won with optimism, not every stone placed upon you can be moved by your will alone; but no matter what, you can still try.
There are so many times where our struggles are behind closed doors and out of sight from those that care the most.
Sometimes we just need to struggle alone, even if we want someone to save us.
There is comfort to be found in the coldness of a wounded heart, in the sadness of a desire unreached, but that comfort can never erase the will of a hopeful heart.
We all have to overcome so very much.
These mistakes, these over analytical minds, and especially these misguided hearts.
Sometimes as we find comfort in this cold place, and as we stay within this broken state, we try hard not to move so as to not provoke any emotion at all.
Then an unexpected show of affection overcomes our darkened hearts, and a simple show of compassion starts to lead us home.

Sometimes, whether we want to accept the help or not, another compassionate heart is what we need to help remove all this weight that holds us down.
