There is a common grade school physics project, the toothpick bridge. Or balsam wood. Or straws, the material doesn’t really matter. All I know is the assignment I was given was to take these materials and come back with a viable bridge. I took the materials, and did my best. My best included supergluing my fingers together multiple times while putting together a subpar bridge that wasn’t up to anyone’s building codes. As frustrating as that was, this is much harder.
I have been working on myself. I have been trying to rebuild with the broken pieces and the new material I’ve come across. No one gave me clear instructions. There are a lot of suggestions, but no real how-to guide. Just take what you’ve been given and make something with it.
I have messed up a lot. I have failed so many times. And I certainly have gotten stuck in this project as well After all of tragedy, the disappointments, and the struggles that come, the answer is to build a stronger foundation, to craft a more resilient mind. The only answer is the keep going and keep building, even when it feels like things are falling apart.
