It ok to struggle and it going to happen where we are going to feel like we hit a dead end of the road with what we going through but if we can change that dead end to a whole new road then we will have a way. Understanding that we need to accept it in order to change it is a important thing to this song even though it about struggling with addiction and feeling helpless. We can still turn it around like he said “I hold on to anything that sets me free”.
There still a desire for change and there still will be a light of that desire.
Hold Fast
Hey my friend.
Thanks for posting and taking a moment to be vulnerable. Thanks for posting. By shining your light here in the comments, you’ve undoubtedly echoed what so many others are likely thinking and feeling.
Based on your comment and how you identify with the song, it sounds like there is a lot on your shoulder. Some self contempt or frustration. Perhaps some things you really dislike about yourself? The lyric “im so damaged beyond repair” is such a real feeling. Like things will never get better.
I’m sorry that you’re in that type of place. I really am. I imagine that is a lot like being at odds with yourself. Especially if you’ve lost someone you’ve loved or if you’re pushing someone away because you’re scared of being a burden. I can imagine that being lonely. So so lonely.
I was in a similar spot for a really long time. I carried a lot of guilt and shame. Shame for who I was. For the way I behaved. For the way that I craved people and love and attention but also the way I lashed out at others like a scared child. I felt broken. Broken by my parents. And I thought i’d never get better.
By no stretch am I 100%. Some days are ridiculously hard. Some days I doubt if i’ve made any progress. But it has gotten better. It’s taken time and damn if it’s unfair that I have to do all of this work to undo what was never my fault. But it’s been worth it. And just like I deserved to find my way out - you do too my friend.
You deserve safety and happiness and the ability to forgive yourself. I hope you’re safe. I hope you’re finding that.
Hold fast, ok?
