Every day is filled with unplanned events

Some are good, some are not

We are forced to deal with each

In the moment

 

Anxiety and depression

Color each, making it bigger than it is

It can be consuming

And overwhelming

 

But one must decide

And deliberately react

In a way that will lessen the blow

Letting it stay surfaced as it belongs

 

Taking the good, the bad,

The hard to understand

And focusing to stay above it

Learning from it and accepting it

 

Discovering along the way

That each has a place

And can lead to growth

If we are willing

 

Until we accept life

Embrace the changes with resolve

Welcome the unpredictable

And realize that it all leads to fulfillment.

 

The real-ness. 

The emotion.  

The questions.

Life.
