Above the Water

There are times when it feels like you can barely get your head above the water. Like every time you think it can't possibly get worse; you couldn't possibly handle any more weight around your ankles, and then something else comes along and attaches. It's times like these that truly test who we are and define our futures. You can focus on that weight and let it pull you under, or you can keep looking up towards the light, and air, and freedom on the surface; and let it inspire you to rise above.
