Be strong.

Life is full of disappointments. We have duties, we have obligations, we have responsibilities. Not everything is fair. Nothing is fair. We must push on. We must move past them. I must push past this. I must wait longer. I must. I will be strong. I will not cry; it doesn’t solve anything. I want to run. I can’t. I must stand. I must work. I must be patient. I will be strong. I will do this. Because I must. I will suck it up. I will not cry. Crying never fixed anything. Be strong. Stand firm. You can do this. I know you can. Don’t moan. Don’t scream for the unfairness of it all. It’s not. I know. Life is not fair. But you must be strong. You must understand and you must accept it. There are some things that just can’t be undone. There are some plans that can’t work out. This one, it won’t. I’m not going to say sorry. It will only make you feel pity for yourself. You must move on. There will be another opportunity. I know there were plans. Don’t cry. You’re better than that. Clench your jaw against it. Be who you know you must be. You know you’re strong, don’t be weak. Just accept it and move on. Don’t let anyone mess you up. Stay on your path. You must. Be strong. Tighten your fists. Raise your chin. Set your feet down. Be defiant. You will not be knocked down. You are impenetrable.
