You know that feeling? When you finally get what you’ve been waiting for. A smile, good laughs, a lovely day. Although it may not be permanent, the memory will forever be with you. And it reminds you that there is hope, and that there is a chance that things will get better. Simply a chance, but a chance you’re willing to take, anything for your happiness. And perhaps the world isn’t all better, and you’re still going to feel like shit a couple days later, but in that moment, you were happy. And that happiness alone makes up for all the times you’ve ever felt alone or like you weren’t worth it or things were never going to get better. It’s that moment of clarity when you realize that you can only get better, with challenge, but you truly can only get better. And you remember that no matter what, you will have more of these days, more of these luxuries that nobody can take away from you, more of these luxuries that make life worth living, worth fighting for.
