Hope, Faith, and Love

There comes a point in everyone’s life where they don’t know what they want. Where people stumble and fall and cry and change. Where people become the opposite of what they were. Where people are the same and yet different all at once. When you’re sitting there and you’re lost, it feels as if the whole world is going to cave in on you. It feels as if there’s no light. As if there’s no air. As if someone reached into your lungs and stopped every single breath you took. It’s scary. It’s a million things all at once. And throughout those million things, there’s only one person causing the fear, ourselves. You see, when you’re “lost” you’ve lost the three greatest things you ever learned in life, hope, faith, and love. The three pillars of what society leans upon. It’s wrong to ignore these things, yes it’s true, but the worst part about it, isn’t the fact that you ignore these things. It is the fact that when we ignore these things, we ignore what makes us human. We ignore what makes us, fundamentally, us. I know that I am a nobody right now. Right now what I know of life is close to nothing. But here’s what I think life is all about, I think it’s about this everlasting hope. This breathtaking type of hope that lifts you up and takes you home. I think it’s about faith. Faith in something bigger than just you. Faith in something bigger than us all. Faith in what we could be. Faith in what we have. I think it’s about love. Because, love? It doesn’t just happen. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes being lost, it takes needing a hug, it takes accepting that you’re wrong. It takes accepting that there’s another path. It takes seeing what others can’t. Overall, hope, faith, love, they all make us. They create us. They lead us when we have lost our way. They are our lighthouse in a vast ocean of confusion. They are our pillars in the largest fortress humanity has ever seen. They are our warm embrace and they are everything we will ever need. They are what we miss when we don’t know it. So yeah, what I know of life right now is nothing, but I’m learning. I am learning what will save me today, tomorrow, and every day. I am learning the three pillars of life. I am learning the three pillars of me.
