It’s your choice. It’s always been your choice, and secretly you’ve always known that, haven’t you? You looked for help from others but deep down you always knew it was up to you. You searched through an endless sea of doubt, looking for a rock to grasp hold of and stop the currents drowning you, but all along you were your own lifeboat.
You’re strong enough now. You can go through with it. Sail forward into the sea, until it thins into a small stream and your problems become a mere puddle on life’s pavement. Raise your sail and journey onwards. It seems hard, but it will only get easier. Sometimes you’ll want to drop the anchor and look around for help. Look for us, standing at the shore, waving and cheering you on. We’ll always be there as long as you look.
We know you can do it. And you know you can do it too. Remember this when the storm comes and threatens to capsize your little boat, and the wind howls through your sails, and huge waves try to engulf you. Remember that if you want to get through this, you can. You will get through this.
It’s always been your choice, remember that. And out of all the certainties in the world I know that it will always be your choice.
