Nobody really tells you what to do when it all falls apart. Not the motivational kind of failure. Not the one that makes you stronger or teaches you a neat little lesson. I’m talking about the kind that leaves a mark. That kind that sits in your chest and messes with your sleep. The kind …
The easiest person to lie to is yourself. It’s weird how easy it is. You don’t even have to try hard. No big performance. No convincing tone. Just… look away from the truth for a second, and boom—lie accepted. I tell myself I’m okay when I’m falling apart. I say it doesn’t matter when it …
Nobody really talks about how faith can feel like walking a tightrope. How sometimes, it’s not this unshakable thing but a delicate, trembling step forward, hoping the next one doesn’t send you crashing down.
