Deepest Emotion

     When you hear the word "struggle" you just assume that it is associated with bad things. In a way it is, but in other ways it is not always that bad.
     "After struggling to meet his bench goal, Thomas achieved it today." Most people would assume in that the boy in sentence that he would be struggling physically to meet his bench goal. But he can also be struggling mentally too.
     Struggle- coping with the inability to perform well or how you want to, to advance with violent effort. Struggle or to battle, work, or hassle.
     Thomas could struggle with getting his arms up again after coming down, but he could also struggle with the pressure to meet his goal and all of his friends making fun of him because he hasn't yet and they have.
The younger you would hate to see those tears.
     My point with the whole Thomas thing is that you can only see the outside of a person, that's it. You don't see what is going on in their head and you can't hear what they are thinking. You can look at a girl in class and think she has the perfect family, the perfect boyfriend, and the perfect life, but that may not be the case. Maybe her parents lost their jobs, her boyfriend beats her, and her friends talk behind her back. All you see is the outside, the mask she puts on to hide the struggles that are going on in her life.
     The mind is a dangerous thing. We all overthink somethings and we cook up some crazy scenarios, that end up to be nothing like we thought. The mind is where you hold back all of the crazy things and emotions going on in your life. It is also horribly cruel, it tells you not let anyone in, don't let anyone know about this great, strong emotion you are feeling, they don't want to hear it. So you don't say anything and go you on with life normally, but the thing is, you don't feel normal inside. The mind is where struggles are the hardest to endure, because you think and think and think. You sit there and just sike yourself out. Everything eventually builds, and becomes too much pressure, and just like a bomb your thoughts explode on your face as water droplets.
     As your bomb resides on your puffy cheeks your head and all the pressure in there slowly disperses out. Your mindset changes a little bit and you become clear minded. You make a decision on what you will do next, even if it's just getting through the next day. Your pressure made you emotional unstable but the bomb taught you something about what you actually want to do with the situation. That decision you make to keep moving forward through more struggles to overcome and endure physically and mentally, can either make you better or break you down more. It gets better with every moment, without any sort of explaination. You wake up one morning and suddenly you just arent as upset anymore. A struggle is a not always a bad thing, it only makes you stronger. Your struggle can be overcome, you have a strong body and mind to pick yourself up after the aftermath of the bomb. Every once in awhile our eyes need to be washed with tears, so we  can see life with a clearer view again.
