Life is so cruel sometimes....

August 10, 2021Jerin Simon2 min read

Life is hard. It's cruel sometimes it's merciless and unfair, but we all go through difficult times, one way or another. You've had more than your share of knocks lately. I'll give you that, but it doesn't mean you get to quit. No one gets to quit. You keep fighting, every day and sooner or later, the grief fades a little.

You grow stronger find joy again and everything gets easier. You come out of it more equipped to handle the next wave , which will come eventually. There will always be waves.

Life is so cruel, you know through the years it has been killing parts of me. But I'm so strong I know. I'll never stop doing something incredible with what's left of me.

None of us are getting out of here alive. So please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food, walk in the sunshine,jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There's no time for anything else.

Life is cruel and unfair, my friends and that is the real truth. Viability can be cruel to you. It can give or take something or someone away from you. Creation is something to be lived happily one minute and then the next minute being could make you realize that something horrible is happening or is going to happen to you or someone else.

Living can hurt you in more ways than a human could because existence has to follow its course. It knows all that happens to you, a person that could hurt you wouldn’t be able to hurt as badly as being because humans don’t know how your life is supposed to turn out. Being is something that is supposed to be lived to the fullest, but sometimes that doesn’t always happen for us.

Creation is sometimes cruel to us because we don’t live up to the expectations of the lives we have been given. Life is only going to continue being cruel unless you live your life and have no regrets before you go.
