“Blessed are the ones who understand; They’ve got nothing to bring but empty hands; Nothing to hide and nothing to prove; Our heartbreak brings us back to you.” ~ Lyrics to Fall Apart by Josh Wilson
It was the moment of truth.
You know what I’m talking about.
When you can’t stop thinking about what you have to do. What you need to do. What you want to do.
But, you’re afraid.
Of falling apart.
Your Everyday Tent
People might tell you, Don’t worry. Things will work out right.
But, you know. You’ve walked through the desert. You know not everything goes as planned.
You’ve learned to put the pieces back together again, living in a make-shift shelter, doing your best and pitching up your everyday tent.
I got used to living out in the desert. It’s where life as I knew it fell apart.

This was a perfect post for me today. I spent most of last year in a desert, and while I’m loving the post-desert freedom of this year, it is scary to think about risking agin. And yet I know the un-risked life is no life at all. Thank you for your words!!
you are right,I feel like I’m living in the desert too. In the last month I feel like I’m falling apart, big time. it’s a hard time. but that life no? sometime you go up and sometime down.
Hi Bonnie, thank you, you touched me right in the point.sometime I feel like living in the desert and every thing look so dark, and it seems that there nothing I can do to change it. and some time it feels so light and free like you on some beautiful beach enjoying. life, I just can’t control this…
why is it so hard to let go and to move forward? is it because of denial or you’re just use to having that someone around? or we’re just simply afraid to take risk of what the unknown will bring us?
