Surpassing the Storm

(PC: Myself, from my car on the way home.)

Have you ever had "one of those days?" The ones where you feel like a thunderstorm just made it's way into your little bubble that was once filled with sunshine. The ones where it just continues to rain and rain. Normally you love the rain ,but today you despise it and you find that you can't even remember what the sun looked like before. The memory of her has left your mind and all you want is for the clouds to make their way out of your bubble again... 

You're not alone. I have to remind myself of these words constantly when I'm having "one of those days." I say them to myself over and over because otherwise I feel as though I may be the only person on the planet feeling like I do, and I know that is anything BUT the case. Each person has their own set of struggles. But it isn't your struggles that makes you, it is how you surpass them. That is what makes all of the difference. 

So, I hope these days are scarce for you, and for me. But I do not wish them to be nonexistent. Because at the end of that treacherous day, the clouds will depart and your sunshine will reappear. It may take sometime to realize this, (it always does for me), but I hope you do realize and that it brings you a sense of peace. 

Your sun will return, but in the meantime, you might as well embrace the rain.
