Surviving in a place you don't know without any intention at first with many colors are tough.
You keep yourself inside the boundary, yet there are people who keep pushing you to see over the edge. And when you see everything beyond, you know that it is not what you expected.
As if culture shock, you once feel disoriented, you can't see your end through the long hallway. Every step you take you bumped to anything, so you try to keep yourself composed to learn not to bump anymore. But then you became strictly centered to yourself and you try to pass the obstacles with no heart or worries at all.
However you need to adapt, to get through the dark and long hallway.
You get stumbled, you fell, you try to stand on your own, by seeing that actually, everyone around you is just the same as you, they're struggling to keep standing, to keep theirselves composed. So you try harder once again, not by closing your eyes this time, you try harder by standing together with people around you.
You see how suffering they were, you see the lust of their chased dream, you see the tired in their eyes, you felt the warm of their tears, and you feel their miserable faces.
Until one day, you feel your heart ache for the first time because of others scars.
You feel heartbroken, the dam you keep is no longer stand strong, it breaks apart, you cried, non-stop until your tears all dry. And then all you see is different. All those cry have made you see the world rather warm to you. You even try to grow the grass on your garden that has been dried for years, so you can take others to visit your garden just to make their mind at ease, just to tell them that they will always have place to rest.
The sprout is now to be seen in every corner, you've grown, you try to open up your garden fence wider than before so you can let everyone to see the sprout that grow in your garden.
No, you never forbid them as you do back then, because you don't fear of losing again. The fear is now can't be seen because you don't have put any worth to your sprouts again so no one can't take them from you. Even if they're take it mindlessly, you won't lose anything. You had make the limit clearer this time. You're not harder, but this is the definition of stronger is. By knowing your flaws, by accepting 'you' to accept others flaws.
It really is okay, to not to be okay. It's okay to cry, to feel sad, to be angry, but the key is control. We should control all of it shouldn't we? We grow to learn how to showering the sprouts on our garden gradually, consistently, with all of our hearts.
So just keep showering the sprout limitless until it got dry by itself.
