Keep Going
Say it with me
You're okay
You're okay
You're okay
Okay
Keep going
During my summers in college I worked as a camp counselor in Northern Wisconsin
Every now and again I would have a camper who would fall homesick
And if there is one homesick camper the second is close.
One evening I sat around the campfire with my co counselor and a homesick 10 year old Who did not want to be at camp
All he wanted was to go home
All he wanted was his mom
All he wanted was to not be where he was
I think we've all been there
Probably more than once
As the smoke spiraled into the night's sky we tried to tell him that everything was okay
That he was okay
That it was okay
That everything was going to be okay
Night after night we sat around the campfire and had a similar conversation
The night before the last day of camp he finally believed me
Sometimes we have to tell ourselves the things we've told other people
Sometimes we have to tell ourselves the same few words over and over again
Yesterday I was talking with one of my best friends and we agreed over and over that life Is hard
But we were okay
And we are okay
And I needed to hear him say that
And I think he needed to hear me say it as well
Life is hard, but we are okay
I'm okay
You're okay
It's going to be okay
Keep going
You're okay
You're okay
You're okay
Okay
Keep going
