It's tough to get through trying times in life. It's easy to drown in the sorrows, sometimes even comforting, and that's okay. Just as the high tides deserve it's time, so do the low tides.

Don't extend its life. Yes, I did just saw that the low tides deserve the time, but there's an upper cap to the time, don't over-stretch it. I'm going to throw in a wonderful comparison here: when you hold your breath for too long, there comes a point say two-three minutes in, when you're left with a choice. Let go and take in all the oxygen you can, or keep going, and fade away into the unknown. The low points are exactly that, most of us fail to see more than what meets our eye and over-extend. We forget that there's something to learn from this, we forget that there is oxygen right there, you just need to breathe.

This short piece is a reminder for everyone going through their worst, that it will come to an end. A good part of it is in your hands. A good part of it is to widen your eyesight. A good part of it is yearning to be perceived.

There's a phenomenon in quantum physics (I might be slightly wrong about this, not a physicist here) where the mere act of observing atoms electrons forces them to behave like particles instead of waves. Sometimes I can't stop thinking about it, how so much of the fundamentals of our being is determined by our act of perceiving it? There's a million different beautiful metaphors for this popping up in my head right now while I write this just based on that one phenomenon. (If you want to read up more about that, please feel free)
