Those Moments.

Some days it’s hard to live.

I don’t want to die, but I just don’t feel alive.

I know we all have a purpose and are here for a reason, but it doesn’t always feel that way.

Some days life just feels mundane.

Some days it just feels empty. I feel empty.

It doesn’t always start out that way.

It’s usually in those random moments. The moments that hit you when you are brushing your teeth. The moments that come when you jump into bed at night. The moments when your mind starts to wander while you’re driving. The moments that find themselves in the middle of a laugh. The moments that are present at a family dinner.

You never see those moments coming.

Sometimes they are quick and fleeting, but other times they linger longer than you’d like.

Those moments hit you deep in the chest.

They push you to the brink.

They have no boundaries.

Those moments are hard to bypass – they are hard to distract oneself from.

They cling to your every being.

They pull the life out of you.

But those moments don’t have to be the end all be all.

They are after all just moments.

We all have moments – good and bad.

It’s a choice me make.

Will we let those moments kill us? Or will we let those moments strengthen us?
