Life finds a way

(This is my way of saying to a very dear friend that everything will be alright but it would be too cliché-ish to say it directly.)

Isn't it a wonder how we always come alive out of our darkest, most painful, most desperate and seemingly hopeless circumstances? Sometimes it may seem that we are in the middle of a very dark tunnel  and there seem to be no way out, that the pain will never go away, that we will be living a desperate life forever. But before we know it, we are ok, we have gotten better and back on track, we are living again.

We are aware that living in this world, no matter how much we love it, also means having to encounter adversities, feel pain, frustration, despair yet we never seem to expect that these will happen to us. We aren't always prepared to deal with these negativities. We are always ready to give advice to other people who are feeling down yet when we feel down ourselves, we tend to get lost in the feelings of hurt, frustration, despair that we do not know what to do to get them out of our system. Many people then tend to dwell on them and wallow for a while. Others live on autopilot, doing anything they can do and keeping themselves busy with stuffs other than thinking about and feeling the pain. Whichever route we take, we seem to always end up back in our own road, the one we have been travelling in before we got sidetracked by negativity, the one where everything is in its own place. I guess life really does find a way to live, all it takes is time.
