Pressure like an avalanche
I am crumbling underneath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelted down by rocks, mud, and sunken homes
As I stand on this mountain side with nothing to brace myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take each impact as it comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is full of overwhelm
And it\u2019s easy to feel crushed by the weight of it all
Yet life still moves on, whether or not you can handle it at all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do your best to always prepare
To anticipate the unexpected and brace for the expected
But life does not care whether you do or don\u2019t
Life will continue with or without you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So instead of always trying to be prepared
Instead of always expecting pressure to crack and avalanche down onto you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s time for you to get yourself off that side of that mountain
And maybe go and explore the ocean or the sky,
Because after we die, that\u2019s it \u2013 that\u2019s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
