Shine Bright
We cannot afford to stay in the dark anymore. To get through the challenging days, we must push through and try to find a glimmer of hope. A glimmer that may give us the strength we need to get through the day. These are tough times. We have arguing humans and sad humans and broken humans and lonely humans. You may be one of them. But under all that struggle, there is also light.
You have the chance, the blessing, and the opportunity to find that light and shine it so you can find your way out. So you can choose differently. So someone else can see the way. We all have that choice. We all have that chance. It is time to start taking some chances.
In order to do that, we have to chase things that keep it light. We have to find the tools that keep us going and lift us up and make us better. We have to seek laughter in the dreary. If we don’t try, we will wither under the weight of all the pain this world brings. We must choose to shine anyway.
