as above, as well as what my brain has learnt a long time ago, but what my heart is only beginning to understand:


when you've been in an abyss for a long time, it becomes easier to remain in it than to try to get out of it. however one must always understand that, an abyss is an abyss, darkness, eternal, and nothingness. you can get only nothing out of nothing. outside of that abyss is what caused you to fall in in the first place. but that is still so much more colourful than what is inside the abyss.

and besides, what caused you to fall in is not the only thing out there.

even if the cause remains there for the rest of your life, it's still not reason enough for you to stay in the abyss and take the easy way out. live next to that cause then. it doesn't mean that having the cause around means that you'll fall into the abyss again, or that it will squeeze out everything else out there. firstly because its size is determined by oneself. secondly because, although it is big, yet its distance to you is variable.

and even if you fall into the abyss again, you would be able to get out again, because you've done it before.

therefore, don't take the easy way out. take the right way out. up. 
 

it may seem as though there are no footholds. but actually they are invisible. they're there, but you've got to look for them. and sometimes, you even have to create them. sometimes they come in the form of bonuses, like speed bonuses and strength bonuses. sometimes, they come in the form of time. no matter how many footholds you will need, no matter how long it gets and how tiring it becomes, once you see something other than black, it will be worth it. 



are you seeing grey already?
