You know…life is not always about red roses, rainbows and smiles. There are cloudy days too, big storms that you wish you never got in. There are minutes, hours, days where thunder strikes again and pouring rain is the only thing that comes out of the sky. Your mind feels like a static balloon full of negative electricity that could burst any second. Days where life looks more grey or black, rather than blue. You feel like your heart has turned into stone. Stone through an earthquake, crackling electricity through your veins. Days you’d rather be alone in bed, than out there in the world.
Alone, to be able to be ourselves for a little while. Alone, not to think about other people’s thoughts, just, for a little while. Alone, to find comfort in our loneliness, to recharge what we have lost. To regain strength, going out there in the world, feeling positive electricity again. To face our challenges, deplete our balloons and open up our red rose leaves. To smile, achieve, and to hope again.
