Falling

9:01 PM / Posted by Alex Tran /


To be so close and yet not make it. That hurts.

To have something and then to have someone take it away. That hurts.

To rise from nothing and become something, but not enough. That hurts.

And to say that's the natural course of life. The up's and down's and all around's, and sometimes, it seems all too confusing and too frustrating and too harsh. But it isn't. It shouldn't be. You sometimes find yourself in the tightest situation, between want and reality. It hurts. You sometimes find yourself in the cruelest situations when whats good for the people, may hurt you on the inside more than anything. Shattered dreams are not shattered hopes. Failure is not the end. It is only from the ashes of the burnt out flame in our hearts can we rebuild ourselves. It is only from these ends that we can find new beginnings. It is only from these ruins that we may construct new structures, new hopes, new ideas, new desires, new ambition.

More than anything, falls show us that we can't always succeed. They show us that we can't always win. They show us that we can't always get what we want. They show us that we are just human. Just human.

Imperfection is not failure, nor is falling down.

Liberation from expectations, and desires may make us independent of drive, but when we experience those natural ups and downs, it may be time to take a break and accept it.

Accept the world as it is. We must all reach that point where we must acknowledge our fall. We must all reach the point where we must accept certain situations, feelings, peoples, and especially the things that go wrong in our life.

There is
nothing wrong
without something
right.
