Keep Moving Forward

The freezing water that falls flat on my entire body in the dawn of day makes me feel like I could do anything. It goes beneath my skin, bones, nerves, and muscles. Every organ is fighting what feels like an everlasting pain. It is inevitably agonizing, yet so rewarding. The truth is, as hard as it is, that so long as I keep enduring, I’ll win. The ones who stop are the ones who freeze; I could easily turn the tap to the left and feel the warmth of my blood again, my defence against such ice. Yet the cold water shows how much you can take, and keep moving forward. It naturally teaches that no matter how hard it is, you have to keep pushing through, until you eventually achieve your purpose, to turn off the tap. If you stop, you only make it harder, since you would still want to wash. When you’re consumed by tragedy, going against an unstoppable force, it is that time when you would have to keep moving, you would have to not think about closing that tap, to not give up. When you’re drained and you just can’t take it anymore, when you feel you have nothing left to give, you keep moving forward. When all things collapse before you causing you to suffer unimaginable pain and overwhelming stress, when you feel lost, you keep moving forward. Precisely speaking, when your life is a mess, you keep moving forward. Life is one long tub you’re in, where bitterly cold water keeps falling over you, non-stop. But even then, you would essentially have to

keep

moving

forward.
