You goin make it through dis one

Dis been one hard time and you still hea, standing up, making coffee. Both dat stuff true, but only one part get all da attention. Da kettle doing its slow build up. Light coming up da wall just like always, no matter if da year going good or bad. You been push through worse dan dis, and da proof standing right dea in da kitchen.

One mug wit one chip on da rim dat you always tink for change but nevah. Somebody car outside stat rough den finally stat. Da fridge find its hum and hold on to um. Your own hands, warm around da cup, doing da regular ting while everyting else so loud.

Hard years no tell you when dey goin end, dass why dey feel so heavy. No mo signal, no mo dat one moment when somebody tell you da worst part already pass. So your mind fill up dat quiet space wit da tought dat dis just how life is now. Dat tought feel so real cuz you cannot see outside from inside da hard time; one rough patch make da future look just like more of right now, and dat happen to everybody, every time, no matter dea situation. Is jus one trick of where you standing, not one true reading of your life.

Ask yourself what you really know, not jus what you feeling right now. You been through hard times before, and every single one dem did end, not cuz you outsmart um but cuz you was still dea when it end. Dat no small ting, and dat no luck. Dass da only way it evah work, and all it ask fo is one ting: dat you willing for still be dea tomorrow too. Dis year no take dat away from you. It jus make it harder fo notice you still got um.

So today, do one small ting dat da you from six months from now goin thank you fo. Small, boring, specific kine. One walk, one call you return, one bill you open up. Not cuz dat goin fix da whole year, but cuz dass one message from you to dat future you, telling um you kept going.

Dis goin end. Not today, and probably you not even goin notice when, but it goin end. Till den, you doing da only ting dat evah work, which is jus being hea fo it. Dat count fo way more dan how it feel right now.
