We must move forward

We must move forward, even when we are not sure where we are going or how to keep going.

We must continue to believe, with hope intact, that one day we will return to doing what fills us with joy. We must keep moving, even when our arms ache from rowing so hard, but we must not stop.

We must continue to give our hearts away for no reason, simply because that is how we feel, because that is who we are.

Continue to look into people's eyes, knowing full well who is hiding a knife behind their back. Know much more than others can imagine, and yet continue walking.

We must hope that one day the wishes we made when we dropped coins into that fountain will come true.

We must continue to weather storms, even if our souls are left soaked; continue to jump in puddles and make paper boats to take us somewhere, anywhere.

We must continue to wait for that unique moment, that sincere embrace that comforts the soul and heals invisible wounds.

Continue to add to what we have, letting go of anger, maintaining firm faith that eternal love exists, capable of overcoming absence.

Even if we are wrongly judged or attempts are made to dim our shine, we must continue without hesitation. We must keep going even if few recognise what it is capable of offering.
