The dark forest

Michael and I are finally watching the show, Ted Lasso
And loving it
In this uncertain and unsettled time I find myself in, again 
I heard something on an episode that really struck me 
It’s a locker room scene and coach Lasso says to the team, “Gentlemen, believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything's gonna work out in the end. Now these next few months might be tricky, but that's just 'cause we're going through our dark forest. Fairy tales do not start, nor do they end in the dark forest. That son of a gun always shows up smack-dab in the middle of a story. But it will all work out. Now, it may not work out how you think it will or how you hope it does, but believe me, it will all work out. Exactly as it's supposed to. Our job is to have zero expectations and just let go.”
I got that analogy instantly 
I understood at that moment what’s happening 
I’m in the middle of this very long chapter and it’s okay 
I have no idea what lies ahead but I believe I will come out okay from this dark forest 
So, if anyone else feels a bit lost
And inside a dark forest of your own
Know that you can only be there in the middle of your story 
Keep walking 
Keep believing 
Keep reminding yourself that better days are ahead 
And that this too shall pass 
Relax the expectations
Release the need to control the outcome 
Let it all go
It’s going to work out
Just as it’s supposed to 
Thanks coach, I really needed this
