Breathe

...There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around...


We can only know ourselves to a certain extent. The rest remains to be discovered as we go on with our lives. Some we discover on our own. Some we discover through other people. Regardless, all should be acknowledged.

To wake up one day realizing I feel lighter, better, relieved makes me a better person (more like I want to believe that). To go about my routine with that weird yet smiling-inside feeling, I know I need to do something. To let the day pass thinking, I need to do something about it but I'm not sure if now is the right time. To seal the day's work with the things that (I think) help me get through all this then I say to myself, If not now, then when?.

And so I went for it...despite the judgments that may be cast on me. Because through this, I know things will be better. I acknowledged that I'm not harboring anger anymore...and it feels good.

...'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe...
