Inertia

Sinem DEMİRALP

We all have obstacles in front of ourselves . But , maybe the only obstacle is our own self . Inertia means , someone or something continuing its own motion until something forces it to act up . Even though there are no concrete problems or obstacles , the persons ’ inner worlds just don ’ t let them act up and build up a big wall in the middle of the alleyway they have been walking ; their own life . This means that , even if it looks like everything is going well from the outside , it is not so for that person who is in that psychologic situation . Every single person that exists , goes through times feeling under the weather . Many people in the society don ’ t consider psychological obstacles as real ones and don ’ t really care , even underestimate the people who are going through that kind of times . But actually , even we can ’ t see any concrete reason as an obstacle , those people are trapped by their inner problems . They are locked in a room surrounded by big windows that everyone outside can see them , but they can ’ t see outside . That room is bright when everywhere is dark , and dark when everywhere is bright . And we can only see them behind that windows . The room they are trapped in has no door , they can ’ t get out . But they can actually open the windows if they try hard enough to save themselves . That person who is in that room , surrounded by big windows , has two choices ; the first choice they have , looks like the only option from the outside : staying where they are and not striving to get out of that room , waiting someone or something to let them out . It is the easiest option but it isn ’ t the right one . The second option they have : Struggling to open those windows , if can ’ t ; breaking them and getting out of that room , saving themselves . The second option may seem hard and may hurt however nothing good in life happens without pain and struggle . You have got to force yourself to act up . You may have any kind of obstacles in front of you , you may be trapped in that room and you may be in a dead-end . You are the only one who ’ s going to break down those walls or whatever you ’ re surrounded by in your mind . Don ’ t let anything or anyone stop you or put any obstacles in your way ; especially yourself . The only solution is YOU .
