here is always an exit
There have been a countless time that I was hopeless and in despair
So many times, I thought I could never be able to escape for the rest of my life and I was at a loss
It seemed unrealistic to have hope, even if people told me that I must have hope
I was lonely, I was alone
But there was always a door
There was certainly an exit
When I was there
I didn't think that I could go to a better place one day
I thought again and again that it was over, it was the end
I have imagined the worst ending many times
There were a number of time I almost wanted to give up
I could not imagine the day when I would be relieved from the unbearable pain of my body would come
But
Change always happens to all things
Things always change, good or bad
The present situation never lasts forever
As morning comes after night
Even if we feel endless pain like an endless loop
Even if there is the darkest darkness, the light of hope is always true
We will always reach the next destination
Because everything in this universe is moving eternally
However, the speed of movement may be extremely fast, or it may be so slow that you would feel that is not moving
Don't stop searching
A dream never comes true if we do not dream
We can keep dreaming and we will dream
Someone cannot dream for my fate and hope
Hope is power
It is our own power
Even if you cannot hold hope and cannot believe that “the day” would not come to you
Keep walking
Have courage
And believe
Someday, you will find yourself standing in front of the door
In retrospect, there will always be a day to find yourself standing on the other side of the door
Make you think so, encourage yourself and move forward
If you give up now and stay here, tomorrow will never come
Believe in the possibility of your next moment and take a step
Even if you cannot move anymore, you can still stare in the darkness before you
We can always find the door, one day
