Even Though

Even though it’s hard to accept failure when you’ve poured your heart and soul into something – 

Even though it’s hard to push yourself to keep trying and fighting and living when all you want to do is scream and cry and wrap yourself in a blanket and sleep for days – 

Even though life is challenging, and some losses loom over you like giant mountains – 

Remember the beautiful moments. 
Remember the small successes.  

Sometimes beauty is so hard to see because we’re only looking for these grand experiences and revelations. At the end of it all, I know that I would much rather have a life-changing journey, even if it’s filled with disappointments and loss and goodbyes, than wake up one day and realize that I’ve never done anything, felt anything, lived through anything.

Maybe you fall.
Maybe you make a mistake. 

Or, maybe you succeed. 
Maybe you become something great.
