slowly but surely

there are months that ask you to take them slowly. January feels like that to me. I have the strange impression that we should be in the middle of the month, but we are still in the first week of the year.
 

 At times, when left to my own thoughts, I tend to run away from them. Maybe it's because I'm prone to overthinking, but recently it's been about great things. Such as, life is filled with struggles that make us grow. There are challenges that keep stretching us and new opportunites to get a strong grip on. Things that were so hurtful to us have somehow turned into experience and we can face more than we thought we could. It's funny. We fall but we eventually get back up.

Wow.
