One step at a time

I know life is difficult, I know it is challenging, and I know how tired it can get along the way especially when you are your own confidant, encourager, and best friend, I know how depressing it can get but don't worry, do it a step at a time.

Depression will set it, you will lose faith at one point in time, you will struggle to keep moving even when nothing is holding you back from moving, and you will get weary and begin to lose breath, when this happens, don't feel you have not achieved anything, just relax, breath in and breath out and begin the move, but one step at a time.

You will get so much backlash from people who know you and you know them too, and those who don't know you and you don't know them either, you will also get from those who just see you pass, and those who watch you from afar, but do not let those words weigh you down because they are not in your shoes, so all you have to do is continue your move, one step at a time.

I know it will look slow, it will seem as if you are not accomplishing anything because of how slow you are in getting to your destination, but which is better, walking slowly to your destination, not moving at all, and just being stagnant in a particular position for a long time or being in a rush and ending up in the wrong destination because, in a bid to get to your destination, you had to do things you naturally wouldn't have done.

You are free to shed tears, you are free to fall sick, you are free to carry a sad face for as long as you wish, but that shouldn't stop you from moving to your destination, nobody ever said crying, falling sick, or carrying a sad face is a sin, I think what should be tagged a sin is stopping because you are tired.

If you have to crawl, it's fine, moreover before every one of us began walking with started crawling on our knees and palms, so if you have to go back to crawling like a baby who is learning how to crawl, I think it is better than totally stopping because that means death. So, be ready to crawl if that is all you can do to get to your destination, don't worry too much about what people will say because they will always talk, just take everything a step at a time and you will get there soon.
