What do You do?

“Against the odds” original drawing, soft pastel

I felt out of control. Anxious.

Not only about all the things that were going on, but also about how I could handle them.

I only wished for a simple final semester: library, calling with family, having nothing else to worry about aside from school.

But then…

Landlady told me that she might be selling house next year so I would have to move after 6 years.

My brother broke up with his girlfriend after over 5 years.

Mum found herself working in the country near the war zone.

I felt small, unsafe, out of place. Very scared and panicky.

What do You do when Your world gets shaken up like this?

WHAT DO YOU DO

What do You do when You fall —You fall

And in the world You seem small — so small

When all the smiles fade — they fade

and there is no one who would stay — would stay

.

Then my dear You take that call

And You do not let Yourself fall

And although You often lacked the faith

in the end it was You who always stayed
