I always wonder

How much does one person have to endure until theyve finally had enough?

How long until they finally decide to'be done with the bullshit', so to speak?

And I always wonder

How much is enough?

There are thousands, millions, billions of people on this planet

And each with their own interpretations of the word "enough".

To one person, "enough" might mean being betrayed by a close friend

To another it might mean losing a loved one or someone dear to their heart

And to yet another, it might mean something as simple as losing an important trinket

Every person has a limit to how much they can endure

A certain amount of stones that they can have hurled at them

Before they're rendered unable to stand.

The problem with the world - or one of them, at least -

Is that people seem to believe that everyone has the same limit

The same amount of tick-tick-tocks before the bomb goes off

Not considering that every bomb might have different wiring

Different materials used to build it

Different triggers

Some a little more sensitive than others

And others that are a little harder to figure out

And it is quite sad to see the more sensitive ones triggered all too often.

And many think of that sensitivity as weakness.

Letting something as simple as a childish quarrel cause you to shell yourself

Or letting something as complicated as a betrayal continue to plague your every thought

If only life could be so simple as some believe it should be.

Wish it could be.

But I dont think it ever will be.

It is hard, this life that we live

Sometimes, hard enough to make us think that its not wort itand we have to ask

"What can we do to make it worth it?"

Just like people have different definitions of "enough"

They also have different views on "worth"

And sadly, this word means absolutely nothing to those who have endured enough for them to believe they have no worth at all

Though, not all hope is lost.

There are some that do find their way back

Back to realizing that they will always have worth

But for others, it takes more than a couple of comforting words and a few pats on the back.

Wounds, no matter the size, no matter the depth, always leave scars

Reminders

And those reminders are what make it difficult for people to try

To rescue what was lost in their making

Some heal quickly, while others require a journey through hell itself to be able to seal

And I would like to give words of encouragement,

Though to some it may not mean much at all

But here is a string, a strand of light - hope - to cling to

It is all worth it in the end

Though right now, it may not seem like it

And I'm sure to many of you, this will sound more like an insult

Because you have gone through something that no one else can understand

Comprehend

And I can understand that much at least

But keep trying.

The road is long, hard, dangerous, painful

Life will throw a lot at you

But whether it is to break you down or build you up

Is something only you can decide

So I ask you

What will life do to you?

So, there you have it.

Let me know what you think. And please try to be gentle.

Oki, bye! ❤😊
