When I was younger and lived on a farm my family would go to the neighbors and help them butcher chickens. Now if any of you have done this before you will know that once the head is missing the rest of the chicken continues to go, which could possibly scar a young kid for life at this point. Just kidding. I remember trying to run from the body that somehow knew where I was going and also when I was taking off the feathers how the neighbor made the chicken jump to scare me. I know it was all in fun because I loved to eat chicken and I remember those neighbors being fun to visit.
I think back a bit to how determined that body was to continue even without the head. I know this is a little morbid, but sometimes you have to think of the fun memories in your life to give you gas to keep going. They have all these sayings out there to encourage or motivate people like, "If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade," but what if you don't like lemonade?
I believe we take the path we are meant to follow and on this path we may fall or stumble along the way. As alone as a person may feel in hard times, they are not alone completely. There is strength in numbers no matter if its people or even just things that make you happy like a memory, or even a hobby. I know that there is a purpose and until that is fulfill you are not going anywhere. Just keep in mind every cut or bruise heals, every story has a happy ending, even it you have to climb that hill and fall a few times. Don't forget to tell yourself and others...I'm fine, thank you for asking.
(sings in her head) 'I'm a big girl now.." :D
