It is sinking in people's minds that things will never be normal.
Prepare yourself for an uncertain future.
It may be difficult but at least it will be different and more often different is good.

Your healthy routine is not mine and mine, not yours.
What works for you might not work for me.

It's an everyday fight to keep a dream alive and better to realise it.
You don't get a day off.
So fight on and never stop for anything or anyone.
Who do you look to when troubles creep in?
Times like this force us to confront our reality, our source of strength, and trust.
Truth is that we don't know when things are going to get better. And things might get worse.

I would normally do my research but this time it is a question to you?
What do you know of spiritual guides. Are they real or it is just an old bedtime story that people are clinging to just to feel safe.
..."I know the type of guy you are", they say. As if they have seen it all.
The problem is that the people who say these words use their own filters and lower standards to measure up people against their flawed checklist.

It only gets better when you want and work on it
There is no one defining moment in life
That risk that you fear maybe the key to unlock an amazing life
You won't always have things figured out

Ooh, dear friend
How are you doing?
I don't know if I am going forward or backward.
Ooh, dear friend.
I am becoming a stranger in my own skin.
When you think of all the plans we made at our tender age.
...In the end, this is a story of love and life coupled with judgments and loss of oneself.
Desire, what a strange and powerful force.
It has many entries and exits.
Whichever you choose, you always end up a slave.
Life takes pleasure in the change.
Will you say the same for yourself?
I am still a stranger to myself.
Life did not come out as well as I thought it would when I plotted in my head.

We fight on,

All of these will one day be a memory.
Add a few days OR years more it will be forgotten.
But the fight never stops.
When I was younger I wanted to shape stars,
Climb mountains so high that I lose breath on the summit,
Now, that I am older I want to shape the universe,
Climb to the pinnacle of different greatness,

Life without adversity is no kind of life at all,
The fun of it all or the reward is in the pain, the lessons, and the strength of making it to the other side.
All roads lead to the ground, but in time we still draw breath we will ...
I accept defeat, take my loss,
Continue with my path,
Work to create a better one,
I can laugh out loud and dance on what was to be our future.
Painful as it may be, it is a way of life, we move on,
Gratitude, gratitude, everything is gratitude,
The Universe has been very very kind to me especially in times when I was not kind to myself,
For this, I am grateful to the universe
Forgive me money I have sinned, against you only have I sinned,
I chose affection over you, Four months have passed and I have nothing to show,
As I lay myself to sleep, I pray that you may restore your grace unto me,
