My Dad always tells me and my Mom that when you're driving in a big storm, you have to keep going. Never stop on the side of the road and try to wait it out. Keep driving because eventually you'll get through it and it'll clear up.
Life is the same way.
When a storm comes through and bad things start to happen, it's human instinct to put our lives on hold to worry about that one thing. We let those problems and tough times stop our whole lives. As a teenager, I think everything is the end of the world. So when I'm faced with a hard moment, I feel like my life is over.
I pull over and sit at the side of the road, waiting for it to end.
My Dad was right all along. I'll never get through the storm by sitting and waiting. The only way to get through and get to the other side is to push through it. Keep going.
No matter what happens. No matter what life throws at you, you can always keep going because life always goes on. It might feel like you'll never make it through and it might seem like there's no end. But there is.
All you have to do is keep going. Keep driving. Keep living. It's not easy. It sucks. It's hard to see. And it's crazy scary. But once you make it through, you realize how strong you are and how worth it it was.
