Tough times don't last forever. There is no greater truth than that.
The change will come, in moments that you don't even pay attention to.
But have no doubts, it will happen.
When you're Skyping with a friend late at night and you find yourself laughing again.
On the drive home with your friends as Travie McCoy plays in the background, telling you you'll be alright.
In the kindness of a stranger feeding pigeons on the street.
In the happiness of two boys you don't know, but whom you just bought juice and chips for just because they asked.
When you fall down the stairs and your grandmother laughs so hard, she gets tears in her eyes and you realize its a side of her you've never seen before.
In your father's arms as he dances with you to Stand By Me.
When your younger brother comes into your room, shows you some crazy dance move and then waits for your approval.
When you're sitting with your cousin, doing nothing, saying nothing and there is comfort in the silence.
In the sounds of laughter that drifts down from the kitchen into your room.
When you find yourself giggling with your friends about the cute boy at the coffee shop.
When your four year old niece falls asleep in your arms.
When a really sad song plays on the stereo, but it doesn't remind you of anything.
As you stand and cheer for hope among a crowd of thousands.
When you stand on the prayer mat and find yourself at peace with God.
When the coffee stops tasting bitter all the time.
When the cold wind doesn't bite.
When the pain is just a memory.
So wait. Wait for these moments and let them take over. Don't fight them. Don't push them away. Let them work their magic. And in the meantime, just sit back, relax and take it easy.
