Analysis of Sometimes



Sometimes, life comes rushing in, with all its fears, what-ifs, and insecurities.

Sometimes the weight of expectations can feel... overwhelming, suffocating.

But darling, I beg of you, remember that you are a rock and life is water.

Let the current wash away your troubles, and smooth your jagged edges.

And remember, that you are stronger than this. That life will not break you - though it may jostle you around.
