Why are plans so scary to us? Why is that the line I choose to scream when no one is around? Why does it bring me to tears when my screams aren't enough?
Plans are for a future. We plan because we have hope. We plan because we're searching for something better. We calculate steps, set dates, work, sweat, and bleed to try and bring these plans to pass.
We do this because we have Hope.
But we also fail and there is a fear that comes with that fall. We can climb so high just to slip and plummet back down to our darkness. See, the thing is, we KNOW there is more to this life. We know that this can't be all there is. We know that WE were made for better, and we search and strive to find that perfection, that sun hidden behind the clouds.
We can see WHO we're suppose to be but the road to that person is horrifying. All of us have blemishes we wish could be burned off. Our imperfections are what's thrown us into this darkest pit. Sometimes it's easier to remain in the dark. To ignore our faults and struggles, our regrets and fears. But this blindness heightens our other senses, and it doesn't take long for us to become sick of our imperfections.
And this is why we climb. The light may blind, but it's what we yearn for. Our bodies, our mind, and our spirits cry out for light, for it's warmth. The light reveals all that we try to hide and the full realization of our ugliness scares us. "What have I become?"'
But this is our crossroads: We can either stay in the light and fight, or return to our dark corner.
So, yes, we may fail hundreds of times. Plans fall though or don't go as expected. But there's always hope. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot conceal it.
It's okay to fail, it's okay to be imperfect. Don't be ashamed of your journey. Run the race! Fight the fight! Refuse to go numb.
Stay Strong.
