struggle in life

Life moves so fast, and we’re so distracted, that sometimes we just need to slow down, feel, think and just be. As a kid from a mediocre family, enormous dreams and high hope. In the dwell of civilization and revolution, I also wanted to become someone who could be looked upon. Seeing my parents work day and night to sustain the family, to provide with necessities and to thrive. I often asked myself, why are we so hard on ourselves? 

Dates back to the year 2013 when I used to study in class 12. With much hindrance to achieve the goals in life, with bags full of books. Time flies by prompt, and the whole year was put up to be assessed by an exam. My life long education came to the test, 3 hours down to me. Later on after everything, all the hard work I did, all the time i took, the result came and I saw I couldn't do well. It was like an end to what all I have thought, dreamed and drew in my mind about my future. It was after then I started to feel like nothing was going good, I was not worth into achieving my goals. I used to stay alone, isolated myself from friends and family' with the guilt that I couldn't come up to their expectations. People poked me, they talked about me and I was like a puppet among men.

On the contrary only parents know their children, my parents noticed my changes in behavior over the passing time, they came to me and console me. My dad told me son, life is never as easy as it seems to be. Hard work always pays off, in one way or the other. Make the familiar unfamiliar and see son. A man shall never be broken if he is determined to do what he wants to. Never consider yourself less than the other person. If they can, you can too. Don't listen to what the people say instead make an effort to achieve your goals, he said and after listening to what my dad told me and seeing hope in both of their eyes for me, my heart sparkled and I saw the hight of hope bright enough to grow my wings back and fly again. I learnt to struggle and come back from it. 

I believe everyone has fall in life, but one should always know how to rise up. Life is not a bed of roses, consequently when u fall, you should know how to hold on those thorns and rise again. I believe that the struggle we are going through today is the strength you will have to survive tomorrow.
