i have found as you delved further and further into this lifestyle, just like algebra the lessons get harder. And as they do you become more of the person you were meant to be if you are willing to learn and not run away.
They are hard. Some are so hard you really want to run. You really want to just forget it all and go to cover up your head someplace. But if you don't, if you are willing to walk through the fire. What is on the other side is all the rewards. Yes, it tough! but it is so worth it. Because with each one of these you become more of who you are meant to be. And what i have especially learned is that no matter the age there is always more to grow around. More to learn. More to experience. If you are only willing to keep going.
I am not going to lie. There have been times when i quit, when i ran, when i didn't see it through. We all have those times and that's ok. but i have always come back in some manner. There have been times of tremendous loss but i have survived. And i realize that risk every time i move forward with something that may happen. And i continue to move forward. because standing still is not an option.
