They don’t ask for permission.
They don’t care if you’re ready.
They just come.
And the worst part?
They’re unavoidable.
It can happen to anyone — at any time.
You make one mistake, take one wrong step, and suddenly…
You’re fighting for your life.
Trying to explain yourself.
Trying to survive it.
But it’s hard.
Really hard.
The struggle to rise, to “make it,”
Feels like an endless battle.
And sometimes I wonder:
“What’s the point of trying so hard when life can still flip at any moment?”
Today’s a big day.
And I feel it pressing down on me.
I’m anxious.
I’m scared.
Not just of today…
But of falling.
Of failing.
Of disappointing myself.
Of never getting back up.
And honestly?
I don’t know what will happen.
I’m just here — hoping.
Hoping that somehow, somewhere, a miracle shows up.
Because I’m tired of being strong every single day.
I don’t want to fall.
But if I do…
I just pray there’s something soft enough to catch me.
