Different Pages from the Same Story

This past week I've been really down.

I'm working at being happy - because I realize you have to work at being depressed also, but I'm struggling.

I want to accomplish many things. I want to see potential in myself.. or feel potential.

I want to learn and grow.. but I find myself shutting down and not wanting to do the work.

Am I too hard on myself or am I not firm enough?

I'm really trying to keep my communication open.

I'm striving to be positive and productive with my time.

But these past two weeks.. I just feel as if I've taken a step back.

I don't even know where to pin-point how or where.

I'm just beginning to feel like I'm failing in so many aspects of my life.

Where and when does the balance come in? Will I find it or do I have to make it?

I want to feel and see myself from the correct perspective - God's perspective.

I want to rest this weekend.. and listen.

I've been listening to all the wrong voices.

That's probably why I feel this way.

We learn from trial and error and trial and error. Again and again.

Keep moving. It doesn't matter how slow as long as I'm moving.

"We are in this life together, even when one moves
without the other. Different pages from the same story.

This aching is familiar... it's something I remember.

We can't touch without feeling. Can't heal without healing.

Only the young could fall so hard, could be so careless
and ignore the scars. So we will move out of the way this time, making room for each other, one without the other.

We are broken, but we are moving still.

A thousand different ways."
