Trying and crying times

"Listen as your day unfolds 

Challenge what the future holds 

Try and keep your head up to the sky 

Lovers, they may cause you tears 

Go ahead, release your fears 

Stand up and be counted 

Don't be 'shamed to cry

You gotta be 

You gotta be bad 

You gotta be bold 

You gotta be wiser 

You gotta be hard 

You gotta be tough 

You got to be stronger 

You gotta be cool 

You gotta be calm 

You gotta stay together 

All I know, all I know love will save the day"… ~Des’ree

Growing up my Aunt R used to play this song every morning before going to work. She didn't know this but I always looked forward to hearing it. It was a song of encouragement and strength. I write this to say that there may be tough days ahead. There are days when you may enter a season of crying and despair. And even lose hope. A part of me is in that season of lost hope. It's not an easy place to be. But I want to say that it's only for a time. My feelings are valid and so are yours. Not everything is meant to be swept under the rug. Sometimes it must be faced with full force. However, trouble doesn't last always. You and I will overcome and sometimes overcoming may be letting go of what was or what could have been. It may be hard to do but peace will come soon. So just remember to stay strong and understand that you are going to become stronger through this. 🌷❤️
