It's like when you take a test and you feel really good about it. You know that you're going to be getting 100% and then the teacher hands it back to you and you are one point away from failing. One small point, and yet that one small point means the difference between a pass and a fail.
All your friends have abandoned you for reasons unknown until you discovered that the reason you are all alone is because you've been 'rude' or'distant' or 'self absorbed' and you think to yourself "How can this be? I haven't been any of those things..." But then you think to yourself "Maybe I have." And you sink into desperation and despair.
Until you remember that one small point. The difference between a pass and a fail.
That one small point is a voice saying two simple words.
"Keep going."
Because it doesn't matter if all of your friends leave you, or betray you, or act as if they've never seen or known you before in their lives. What matters is the voice you choose to listen to.
Of course, one voice is easier to listen to than another. There are all of those points that caused you to get that particular grade on that particular test, and those tend to be the loudest.
But there is still that one small point that remains. And while all the other are screaming at the top of their lungs, that one small point is whispering reassuringly.
"Keep going."
