The “it” is yourself, your troubles, your insecurities, whatever is weighing you down. You’re stronger than you think and there’s hope and love all around you. So pick it up, ride the waves, and know peace isn’t that far away. Say this after comforting a stressed friend to encourage them, or say it to yourself when you need it. (Phrase from and definition inspired by the song Ride by Sara Diamond)
What’s one bad grade? You’re still amazing! This doesn’t define you. There’s always next time. For now just pick it up and ride. I promise you’ll be ok, whateverthe outcome.
The guys and I were watching football when I said, "pick it up". Nobody knew what I was talking until I told everyone I had just dropped ass and they should "pick it up!!!!"
