mais en ce moment le chien noir aboie
You know, I see life like a big board game. Like, there are 85 spaces, one for each year of life. Each space is a step, a moment in your journey. And you, right now, maybe you're on space 40. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less, but you're here. And yeah, you've already crossed two or three really dark spaces. Some grey ones too. Spaces where you lost everything, where you felt empty, alone, like today. But look closely: three hard spaces out of 85, that's nothing compared to the whole board. It's not even 10 percent, it's more like 5 percent of your life. And even though those spaces left marks on you, there's still the whole rest of the board ahead. You've still got 40, 45 spaces to go, maybe even more. And in those spaces, anything can happen. You can meet someone new, fall in love again, change jobs, travel, come back to life. Because life isn't over. You haven't even seen everything it can offer yet. Even if right now you feel stuck, like the game is rigged, like there's nothing left to win… that's not true. The board is still open. You're still a player in the game. You still have dice to roll. And honestly, it would be such a shame to leave the game now just because a few of the spaces were too dark. Hold on, even if it's slow, even if it feels pointless. Because what you're feeling right now is just a moment. And if you keep going, maybe in five or ten spaces you'll look back and say, "Damn, I'm so glad I didn't end it." The best part might not even have started yet.
