"We Continue On..."

We Continue On

We continue on after heartache, even when tears flood our vision.

We continue on after disappointment, even when faith wavers and trust is broken.

We continue on after releasing fear, even when the trembling still remains.

We continue on after abandonment, even when loneliness echoes within.

We continue on after loss, even when grief crushes the soul and each breath feels like a burden.

We continue on after disaster, even when surrender seems like a sweet relief.

We continue on after rage, even when its imprint lingers like a shadow.

We continue on after failure, even when self-belief falters.

We continue on after humiliation, even when shame bows our heads.

We continue on through illness—physical, emotional, mental—even when healing feels far away.

We continue on through every kind of struggle, even when the future dims and hope hides.

We continue on…

Because it is the only way forward.

Because something deeper than ego lives within us.

Because we long to be seen, loved, and accepted.

Because hope, though dormant at times, still flickers in our depths.

Because this is our path—our journey, our becoming, our way through to the other side.

And when we continue on…

We learn to love.

We learn to live.

We learn to laugh.

We learn to rise.

So always continue on—

Because this too shall pass,

Because there is a season for all things,

Because what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger—

And because you were made to rise.
