Dealing with hardships.

Dear consciousness,

I know you are in pain. That you wish things were different. There are experiences that you want to share but they seem too much to explain. I know sometimes people can seem indifferent, like they don't empathise with you. And that makes you sad. Even lonely at times. 

But I also know that you are the only authority that can choose how to react to all the hardships the world throws at you. I want you to acknowledge the pain, and then smile back at it. Like you're telling the universe that you accept its challenges. Like you're telling the universe that you too are an immutable part of it. I want you to submit to your reality and in turn gain invincibility over your pain.
