A cloud of darkness is despair
Despair, it is one of the strongest feelings of dread, a gloomy shadow, a dark cloaked figure, or a cloud that hovers over above and that blocks out all the light from ones life.
The feeling of despair is awful, and sometimes it feels like it is not conceivable to overcome, but we must never be deceived, despair is not an almighty power, it is a coward that kicks you while you are on the ground.
I feel confident in saying that, likely all of our lives will have inevitable bumps of despair, sometimes they might feel like mountains we simply cannot overcome. But, there is always a solution to this shady figure, even if it is not always simple or straight forward: faith, will-power, introspection, a will to fight, staying occupied, love, hope, or finding joy. It is not always clear which path will lead you to the light again, but it is certain that if you look hard enough, you will find it.
For myself despair has been an all too familiar enemy, one which I have had to battle with all my soul on many an occasion, but I can take heart in knowing, I have always overcome it in some way or another, even if at times it felt like the biggest fight of my life. The feeling can be overbearing, but know there is always a way to victory.
Know you aren’t alone in the fight, there is always somebody to talk to, something to keep you busy, something to keep you going. Despair cannot remain where it isn’t welcome. Nobody might truly know what your battle is like, but know that you have the ultimate power to overcome it, and maybe that power will enable you to help others too.
