The Wall Was Never The End

by TheShokesProject

The Wall Was Never the End is a modern rock song about realizing that fear, doubt, and the weight of the past don't have to be defeated before you can move forward. Sometimes the wall doesn't come down. You simply become strong enough to keep going.

The story

What if the wall was never the thing you had to defeat?

The Wall Was Never the End came from the realization that sometimes we spend so much energy trying to break through what stands in front of us that we forget there may be another way forward.

I thought I had to break through.

I thought the fear had to disappear. The doubt had to be gone. The past had to stop hurting. The wall had to come down before I could move.

It didn't.

The wall stayed where it was.

But something changed.

I stopped measuring my progress by whether the obstacle had disappeared and started measuring it by whether I was still moving.

I became someone who could keep going.

And maybe that was the point all along.

The wall was never the end. ::
