Today i ask myself what is life

4 years ago · 2 · Depression, +2


696

It is like i am swimming in the ocean. I can't stop. I swimming all day and night. And then suddenly something hit me and drag me into the water. Drag me deep down to under the sea. I fight for the air to breathe. Sometimes it let me swim to above the water easily but sometimes it won't. It plays with me. When i am above the water, it will let me shortly rest. Then i have to keep swimming. Otherwise it will drag me down again and again. I fight everyday. I do not know when does it come. In the other hand it make me tough and proud of myself that i survive and learn how to fight it next times.

    Somewhere in the water, there is a boat or a shallow part that allows you to stand. I think that’s the goal in fighting to survive - the hope of reaching that place.
