some days i feel strong. some days, sometimes just for certain hours of the day, i feel like i'm good. i've figured it out. i know what i'm doing. i know i'm on the right track, walking in the right direction.

 

today i feel weak. i've got the pain in my stomach. i'm looking at the phone. songs are playing in my head that remind me. i'm imagining unrealistic scenarios in my mind that aren't going to happen, setting myself up for more disappointment.

 

i want to figure out a way to hold onto the strength, 'cause it's there sometimes and i know it's real.

 

any ideas on how to do that?

I feel like strength and weakness come and go when they please, kind of like summer and winter.

 

We don't try to figure out ways to make it summer all the time; we figure out ways to make the winter a big party too!

 

Whenever I feel weak is when I write my best poetry. I also practice martial arts when I'm feeling down because that's the best time to practice. (The robber won't care how you're feeling if his intention is to take your wallet.) There is strength to be found in weakness, I think.
