Today is the day you cast aside your worldly belongings for something greater.
Do you remember that moment in your life when everything changed? The day where you were sitting on the ground, your mind spinning and your heart screaming for answers. It is on those days where our minds become clearer and we begin to truly understand our surroundings.
I am here to tell you today that you are not truly standing until you have fallen down. You are not the rock before you are the water. You cannot love before you hate. You cannot be one with yourself until you have lost yourself entirely.
Just remember this as you enter this day: we have all been down. Whether it be down in a trench in the middle of a war we don't believe in, down in our spirits as our love leaves us, down in life as we strive to find what we truly enjoy, or down in our minds as we strive to find a meaning to live, we have all been there. You are not alone in what it is you feel, but today you are alone in the way you deal with it, for we have found the light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot make the leap for you, but some day you will realize that the only bad day is the day you didn't take the opportunity to make yourself shine.
Take that leap.
