Most people go to funerals thinking wrongly of why they are there. They are not there because the person died; they are there because that person lived.

Most people go to funerals thinking wrongly of why they are there. They are not there because the person died; they are there because that person lived.

Down, down, down, I can feel you falling.

~~Bite your lip and hold your tongue, pull it together, suck it up, smile, always smile, distract yourself from the edging thoughts at the back of your head, and go. The show must go on.~~

There’s always gonna be bad shit out there. No matter where you go, who you are, or what you do. That’ the game of life for ya. But here’s the amazing thing - light triumphs over darkness. Every time.
You can stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light.

You will do what you have to do to get through this. People deal with things their own way, end of story. Letting go is a gradual process. We heal, often without even knowing it. Even if you don’t realize you’re moving on with your life, it happens. And I think the hardest lesson we have to learn is this: sometimes people won’t stay in our lives, for whatever reason. That doesn’t mean they don’t stay in our hearts. Whichever path you take from here, I pray you never stop seeing all the love surrounding you.

You control which direction you go. If you wanna go up, you will, and if times get tough, never forget my hand to pull you back up, and remind you who you really are.
