Hiatus and New Entry

Hi guys!

Sorry for being on a little hiatus. I've been really busy with school, and haven't had much motivation to write. However, I had a huge moment of inspiration tonight, and decided to write something. I hope you guys enjoy it! :)

"Mouse in a Maze"

Sometimes, I feel like I am just a mouse in a maze. It is a labyrinth of my own physiological creation – something that encapsulates all of my worst fears. Every turn I make faces me with the manifestation of the things that I do not dare search out for as I live my life. I see visions of my past, moments that I do not wish to feel once more – embarrassing moments, moments which make me want to curl up into a little ball and cry, moments that make me feel like there is no good left in the world, no matter how hard I search for it. I feel lost in this maze, as if there is just infinite darkness.

But I know, deep down in my soul, that there is a light at the end of this nightmare. There IS an ending to this misery and trouble, and it is up to me to find it. Not anyone else, but me and me alone. While I may be reminded of times that I didn’t quite measure up to expectations, or have felt that I “let myself down”, I take these things in stride! I know that regardless of my past follies, the future is always bright. I take each corner of this confusing maze with increased optimism, as if I know the way to the finish line. I see my friends, family, and loved ones cheering me on, as if I am competing in a marathon. This marathon, that I have struggled through but am finally becoming comfortable with, is life.

Life is what you make of it. While you may have dark times, there will always be light. The light will always be waiting for you. So go! Go out and get it! Do not care what others think and ignore them if they put you down. Believe in yourself, because you can accomplish wonders. You may feel like you are simply a “mouse in a maze”, but if you truly believe that you can succeed, you will make the maze’s walls lower. They will lower, and the end will become clear to you. You can step over the obstacles that previously blocked your way, and venture towards your goals and dreams with pride and happiness.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and lower those walls! Go out and find the light at the end of the darkness!
