Days

There will be days when nothing seems to make an ounce of sense.
When all your struggles and every last effort are made in vain, bring yourself to ask one simple question, "Why?"

There will be days when it seems like all you do is fail.
Every attempt is met with defeat and the heart that yearns to keep going is burning dim.
There will be days when you look in the mirror and wonder if it is all worth it.
Days in which you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the person on the other side.

The general structure is the same. The hair, skin, eyes, it's all relevant.
But, somehow, you've changed.
Still resembling the person you have always been, only there is something that is slightly unrecognizable.
Maybe it's you're ideas. Maybe it's you're feelings, passions, or even accountability.

Whatever the difference, you're reflection now sparks the question, "How did I get here?"
This is then followed by another important question, "What do I do now?"

To this question, there are many different answers. There are many things you can do and many ways in which you can change.
But, perhaps sometimes, the best thing you can do is nothing.
Do nothing but stay the same.
Do nothing at all.

Days are nothing but moments in time. Moments that shape us into who we are and more importantly, who we are going to be.

If you happen to find yourself met more often with days of defeat then days of victory, take haste my dear, sweet friend.
For these days are nothing more then the building of a foundation. A foundation that is strong, confident, and beautiful.
The very foundation in which you shall forever stand.
