Now is when you stick your feet on the ground and make your stand. The stand. Now is when it matters most because only now you know what it takes to be undeterred. Now is when the words you spoke in love and in awe, so fervently and faithfully, determined, has to be proven with action.

For how can you tell what light is if you've never experienced darkness. Or the beauty of healing without brokenness or pain. How can one love, without knowing what it is like to live without love.

It is now, when times are toughest. When you feel like giving up. When everything crashes down. When the world falls apart. When no one is around. It is now that you dig your feet deeper and lift your hands higher and declare no matter how hard it is that you're in and you'll never bail out.

You might just die while at it. No one said it's gonna be easy. But hey, you promised. No one forced you to be bold and pledge allegiance.

this matter is mine, don't worry I'm fine
this matter is mine.
I'm not gonna give it up.
