Learning To Fall And How To Get Up Again
What does it mean to “fall”? To explore the possibilities of what this really means, maybe you should watch this video. If not, then feel free to read further!
The video, which depicts a boy who falls into a hole in an abandoned building, is something different. It shows his struggle and failure to help himself get back up while still going down. This can be applied to many areas in life such as relationships with friends or family, love and care for yourself when you feel like giving up on your dreams. Many times when we give up on ourselves we start doing things that are not good for us and do the opposite at trying times that may seem impossible or hopeless. Throwing in the towel of what you want to do or what is right for you.
When all hope seems lost, remember that there is a way, a lot of times it does seem impossible but it does get better if you keep pushing through and keep trying, no matter how many times your fall.
