Will it be this way forever?
I have found myself asking this question multiple times.
Asking myself, God, professionals, family, friends, e.t.c. Unfortunately I never got a clear answer.
I would be told the same things: ‘Recovery is not linear, the more you put in the work the easier it will get, there ARE many who HAVE recovered.’
Still, most days felt daunting…and still, some days/moments are extremely frustrating. It is exhausting to fight a demon in your head every single day. It is exhausting to choose recovery. It is exhausting to simply show up everyday.
AND… still everyday I know I have to remind myself I am not in this world alone.
I am not experiencing this alone.
I am not the only one walking through these feelings, no matter what each situation may be.
I find myself telling a close friend often, ‘Everything is only for a season, it won’t last forever, you have got this.’
Most times I am truly saying this to the both of us.
Pain and suffering will not be for forever, just like joy will not be for forever. These two emotions coincide, and unfortunately there is usually not one without the other.
Whatever you may be going through right now, will never be exactly the same again.
It will not be this way forever.
There is always something we can learn, take-away, and experience. Soak in what you can, even during the hard seasons.
You are here, in this moment, for a reason.
You are going to make it.
You can do hard things.
