But then, just another day, the same person, the same window frame, the same cup of coffee... felt unknown in real life. wake up late. Coffee is bitterter than usual. The work is like a scandal. Some people say the sentence accidentally, without being thorny, but it is in their hearts. At those times, people easily forget that: Ups and downs are normal.
Life is not a straight line. It is like the cardiovascular line on the screen of survival monitoring - while up and down, that is, alive. Everything is flat only in ... the ending. So, when life rises, do not think you are invincible. When falling, do not think you are the failure. Each time falling is a patience. Every time I go up, I learned to be grateful.
We grew up creating an illusion that life had to be stable. After finishing university, there will be a good job. Getting married will make you happy. Doing well is recognized. But no. This world does not operate according to that ideal logic. There are days when you do your best, but the results are still poor. Sometimes you love someone sincerely, but others love someone else. Sometimes you are kind, but what you receive is indifference, is hurt.
But it was also those times that we learned how to stand up. Realize that you don't need to shine every day. No need to live to please everyone. Just be strong enough not to be swept away by things out of reach.
Accepting ups and downs does not mean being reluctant. But understand that: Everything will pass. nothing is so long that we cannot endure it. And nothing is so permanent that we have the right to be subjective.
People who are peaceful, not because they are not sad. And because they do not cling to happiness or suffering. They live like water - knowing when it flows rapidly, when it is quiet. Know when to give up, when to hold on.
You can cry, you can get angry, you can get bored - it's all real. But then, we still have to continue living. Clean the room, walk around, make a cup of tea. Life does not require us to always be good - as long as we do not give up.
Because after each decline, there will be an increase. Like the sea, sometimes the waves are calm, sometimes the wind rises. But the sea is still the sea. And you - through many ups and downs - are still friends, the only difference is to be more resilient, calmer and know how to smile in the thunderstorms.
