I know I am not alone when saying that I have been in difficult situations that for a split second force you to believe this is all there is. Maybe that one mistake or that one choice is the reason for so many things. I come to believe that this can be both true or false. Who knows? Maybe it is something that was bound to happen anyway. Then again, maybe it is something that DID happen due to a bad decision. Whatever the case maybe, we cannot dwell on it or even worse, believe this moment is all we are. That our life is doomed and we have no choice but to accept that. If anything, life with all its good and bad experiences has taught me the opposite. You really are the the author of the book and that means you have it in you to change or steer the course any which way you want. It may seem impossible at times, trust me I know. I have my moments where I feel like I am obligated to stay in a corner and be content with such notions of life. Nothing could be more false. I, along with other individuals around me, have seen what the human spirit can pull itself through. Not giving up. Not giving in to the idea of quitting or allowing yourself to become another sad statistic. Why? Because if we have anything in this one life is the power and ability to be able to rewrite our story if we don’t like it. That, I believe to be true above everything else.
