Unless

Anna Bernsteiner (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer
Yesterday I didn’t get out of my bed at all.
I stared at the ceiling.
And it looked like I was still, doing nothing
When actually there were thousands of conversations and words
Floating through my mind
so I was paralyzed and had to listen to them scream.
Time felt worthless and so the days passed
And another one and another one and many more after.
And this would have gone on for eternity
Sadness and depression can eat you alive
Unless . . .
There is something in you that wants to move.
Unless . . .
There is something that wants to run, dance, laugh
Unless
there is something that will fight
All you need is a beating heart
And a fighting soul
To rebuild your life.
Nothing can stop you
Not grief, not pain, not depression
You are in control of your reality
You can
You will.
So today I got out of bed in the morning.
It took me all the strength I had
But I made it
And so will you.
