16 seconds

You wouldn’t believe the destructive power of 16 seconds. One second you wear a smile while a hint of excitement glitters in your eyes. 16 Seconds later, you lie on the floor. The life you thought you knew shatters into an abyss of broken nights and distraught days. Hold on. I know you don’t want to, but hold on anyway.

When… if you survive those 16 seconds, and if you survive the days, weeks and months that follow, you will be unbreakable. If you survive.

Sometimes life rips us to shreds. You get a phone call, and in that moment you know you can’t survive this. Hold on! You will come out stronger at the other end. But I beg you, please hold on!
