Clinging to Hope

To be honest, nothing positive has really happened in my life, not just in the past year, but for the past six years now. It’s like time has turned into a relentless wave, pulling me under more and more with each passing day, each passing month, each passing year. I keep hoping for something, anything, to change, but life keeps throwing me deeper into this endless battle with depression. It’s hard to put into words how it feels, like carrying the weight of the world on shoulders that have long since grown tired.

I won’t lie; I feel like I’m nearing the end of my strength. Some days, it’s hard to imagine making it through another one, let alone more weeks, months, or years of this pain. It feels like I’m fighting a battle I can’t win, and that thought terrifies me. But even with all that, there’s a small part of me that doesn’t want to let go completely. I’m trying, really, I am, because maybe, just maybe, life will surprise me.

I keep holding on to this fragile hope that 2025 might bring a miracle, something to finally break this cycle and show me that it’s worth staying for. It’s hard to believe in, but I’m clinging to it because that’s all I have left. Until then, I’m surviving, not living, just surviving, day by day, hoping that this heavy darkness will one day lift. It’s not easy, but I’m doing the best I can with what little strength I have left.

  1. I also have very tiring, long days filled with much darkness at times; but I have the three baptismal gifts to help get me through them, and at the end of the day I give God thanks for putting me through all that He has. Try praying to Mary; even if you don’t believe, just try it once. You might see a miracle come over your life; my life certainly has seen its fair share of miracles.

    Merry Christmas!

  2. ✨🤧Hey, don’t worry! Sometimes it’s okay to feel the way you’re feeling. Just know that you’re so much stronger than you think—you’re absolutely awesome! 🩷🦋

    Remember, tough days are like the seasons, even the ones you hate—they come and go. Trust me, 2025 is going to bring a miracle, something that’ll finally break this cycle and show you it’s all been worth staying for. 🌟✨

    One day, you’ll look back, smile, and say, ‘It was all worth it.’ Worth fighting the inner demons, worth every struggle. That day is coming, sooner than you think…🩷🦋
