Find It

 Sometimes, we lose things. 

 

Small things are easy to forget. 

A missing pen? I can replace it. 

A missing paper? I have more. 

It is not always worth the effort for small things to be found. 

Replacement is not always the first thought when we lose

 something important—it sometimes cannot be an option at all.

 The level of importance affects how we pursue the issue of a 

missing item or feeling. A small need is all it takes—

a small need can leave a hole in your heart.

Nearby is where we start.

Friends, family. Familiar territory is the safest route to take,

though not always the easiest. Admitting that something is lost is a 

difficult first step to say to oneself, nonetheless everyone else. 

But if it means finding the lost, it is worth it.

Worth a try, at least. 

So the journey begins! 

Where could it have gone? 

What could have happened to it? Did I lose it? 

Or did it leave? 

Where? Where? Why? 

This path cannot be easy. Many things can block the way, 

but nothing that diligence and focus cannot get you through. 

But for one second of doubt, one mistake, and you crash.

 Doubt never really goes away. Slowing you down and 

hindering you, it just waits for you to give in.

 It could very well stop you completely. 

Giving up is not an option. 

If you are not willing to make the journey to find it, it does not deserve to be found by you. 

Faith and desire will keep you moving. It is important to find what you have lost.

 Stand up. Keep moving.

There is no weakness in asking for help. 

Even the friendliest of sources can be intimidating. 

The doubt returns to tell you that no one can help, 

why would anyone help, 

how can you succeed if you ask for help?

Ask anyway.

There are still kind spirits out there.

We do not always find what we are looking for. It can be taxing and giving up is sometimes just easier. Sometimes it is the answer. Why bother?

Why? 

Because we need to face our monsters. 

Maybe it cannot be found. 

Maybe it was never really yours to be begin with—just something you deluded yourself into believing you had. Maybe it is something you have yet to find.

Face it. Fight it.

Find it.
