There will be days when nothing makes sense; when the people that you reached out to for meaning will be the exact ones leaving you dazed and confused. There will be moments when the memories that made you feel warm and fuzzy will burn your insides, reducing your hopes and desires to ashes. There will be instances when the places that you ventured into for peace will deafen your soul with the eerie silence.

I’m not going to romanticise life by asking you to look for the silver lining in the dusky clouds that shroud every soul once in a while. But I will tell you this — embrace these days, these moments that show you the ugly side of humanity. Soak yourself in the pain that these memories bring. Let the cruelty of another soul run through your veins. Allow your bones to crack under the dense weight of nothingness.

For this is what it means to live. This is what it means to be human. Yin and yang. Evil and good. Sad and happy. That’s how the balance is maintained.

And if there’s anything I’ve learnt, it’s this — “In your weakest moments is where you’ll find your strongest self.”
