A Brighter Future

Sometimes, when melancholy grips you, it grips you like it's the end of the world. Sometimes, when you think of the good things you've lost, you lose the reason and the sense why you lost the good things in the first place. All is left in the realm of conjecture, of the what ifs.

Until you focus and try to remember the well-thought of logic behind the actions. Until the associated aches and stress once more comes to fore.

Then you begin the process again. You filter out the what ifs, and hold on to the facts. Cold and hard. Like a splash of cold water in a sleeping facade.

So you realize the eventuality. The reality. And the future.

Which should start in the now. Right here. At this moment. To forget the less worthy lessons of the past, and to continue the legacy of the right.

By then, you will have realized how the world works. How it moves on despite the seemingly insurmountable suffering. And that as a result thereof, you are a better person.

And it's a brighter future.
