just breathe...

Everything you know has been taught to you by someone, or something throughout your whole life.

Ever since you first opened your eyes in this world they start teaching you to speak, to act, to crawl, to walk.

You learn from everything around you. Growing up you learn the manners, the morals, the rights and the wrongs. They tell you, they teach you, and then somewhere along the way, life takes over.

Life teaches you that most of the things you have learned can never really be applied to the world you live in.

Life teaches you about broken hearts and pain, of sleepless nights and vulnerability, about letting go and moving on. And they every once in awhile you learn things from books and movies, friends and strangers you barely know.

You learn, always learn, to have a better understanding of the world around, of yourself.

But sometimes, everything becomes too much to take in, too much to bare. And you fall into that place, that phase that you can’t seem to get out from.

So when you are there and feel low, do the only thing that no one had taught you to do, the thing you have been doing since you were born...

Just breathe.
Just close your eyes and breathe...
