The Apostate Must Rise (POB WOTW S5W6)
Sometimes it's as if the world is against you. The things passed on from father to son or parent to child serve as a foundation. It keeps you moving forward. Yet, from out of the blue, life can take it all away.
When everything gets taken from you, you have nowhere else to turn. You become an apostate-faithless. You've lost the value of your beliefs. The world changes its colors for those that no longer believe in their life or mission. Those sunk deep into despair can linger in it for the rest of their lives. Others, however, may find a way to climb up from the darkness into a new form of light.

The Most Important Step
The most important step someone can take is the next step. The first step is easy. No one has a problem with a journey towards somewhere appealing. When life throws you an obstacle, however, the journey changes. Suddenly, the person moving forward will force themselves to halt to deal with the problems before them. Sure, that's understandable.
You may even collapse from the burden. Yet, the road to a better place remains. Never forget it. Rise from your fallen faith and take the next step towards a brighter day.

I love reading these articles. I get to see into someone's perspective. Even if someone's story is fictional I get to see how they interpret the world. For those that continue to participate, I can see how they adapt their writing to the grading that occurs. If this contest ends one day, I'll be sad to see it go.

Dear @scholaris, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

Your support would be really helpful and you could make a difference.
Thank you!
