As I looked out at the water, I realized there was nowhere to go, nowhere left to run. And I just had to stay here, facing this terrible truth. I felt, as more tears fell, just how tired I was, a tiredness that had nothing to do with the hour. I was tired of running away from this, tired of not telling people, tired of not talking about it, tired of pretending things were okay when they had never, ever been less than okay. . Morgan Matson
About This Quote

When we feel as if there is no remedy for our problems, as if there is no way out, as if we will just keep falling and falling and falling forever, we may start to believe that what we are facing is insurmountable. This feeling of hopelessness is called “despair” and it can be the toughest thing to overcome. But, the truth is there is always a way out of despair. With enough determination, we can always overcome whatever obstacles we face. Even the greatest darkness has a light at the end of it.
