OHANA

It’s in those distraught and rough times that you test yourself.

Your wisdom.

Your tolerance.

Your patience.

It’s in those times when everything inside of you breaks, that you are vulnerable. You are prone to recklessness.

You might take that careless and reckless path. You might forget what people who love you, and whom you love, told you. You might do what you mustn’t. You might go against all expectations.
It’s not your fault. Not entirely. It may be your first, and you learn only by your mistakes. You might not be able to hold yourself for the first time. You might not be strong enough this first time. You might not be able to consume the frustration, the anger, the FAILURE the first time.
You do what you KNOW is wrong, but what you THINK is right, only for that moment, a justification given to yourself, to consume it all- the loss, the anger, the distress.
Yet, you can always come back home.
Home is where people that matter to you- who love you and whom you love- reside.
You can always come back home, to them.

It’s their words that reach to your heart. It’s their embrace you crave. It’s their shoulders you can cry on. You don’t have to consume it anymore. You have to let it out. They make you let it out.So that, it never consumes you again. It was your first. It becomes your last. You remember what they told you. You remember you KNEW you were doing wrong, but, now, you are stronger.

 You are made stronger by your home and the people inside.

The people you came back to.

Your OHANA.
