#soulstruggle
Ten toes down. Ten fingers clinging to the cross — but even I can admit: some unanswered prayers leave me feeling   _so cross_. Where both the heart and mind start to whisper —"maybe we’ve already been crossed out from receiving blessings," even after giving ourselves to that same cross. The soul isn’t an __X__ to unconditional love — it still holds on, trembling, but my human nature keeps crossing out its own heart. Unwilling to believe in the redemption that bled for it, too caught in its own voice to hear anything softer. Pride’s the loudest preacher in the room. It tells me, "you deserve it all" — as long as it's everything I want and nothing I have to wait for; even when I try to even the odds, I’m reminded: human nature is always at odds with itself.

Crossed Out!
"O, you who march toward hell, embrace death—it is your only chance to escape alive. Oh, you are oblivious to hope, beware—you stand on the brink of losing it forever. Oh, you lingering at the edges of oblivion, existence is no game of hide-and-seek—find yourselves before you vanish. You who arrive here know you are already among the departed. Calm your fears, for the worst has yet to come. O, you who weep for the past, dry your tears. The past was once the present, but the future… the future will never be."
