Avoiding something is not the easiest thing to do but the most convenient shortcut. We know running away or hiding won't help solve the problem, but maybe indulging in ignorance was the only escape we saw possible.
Sometimes, we loose faith and we lack courage to face anything, it's so hard to look at trouble in the face and march against it head strong. By the time we turn around again with the intention to fight it, we loose the energy to move.
There's a saying that goes, "Your stronger than you think.." I agree. We're stronger and more powerful than we'd imagine ourselves to be, but sometimes, we crumble and we just get overpowered.
Funny thing is, no matter how much we complain, how far we run away from it or how hard we try to avoid it; we find ourselves mustering the courage we thought we had lost to put up with it day by day.
We can run away and live in a lie but we can never really bring ourselves to do it sometimes. Say all you want, but at the end of the day, we face it. And occasionally, not for ourselves but for other's sakes, we choose to stay for them and be strong for them. We owe it to them. At least that much.
I'm here for you, just as you were here for me. :)
