STRENGTH

I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO TURN AROUND.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FAR OFF TRACK I WAS UNTIL I LOOKED BACK TO SEE HOW FAR I'D COME. ALL I SAW WERE MILES AND MILES I NEVER PLANNED TO TRAVEL.

"WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE."

I CANNOT ESCAPE MYSELF.

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER, I MIGHT BE TAKING ON THE SCARIEST UNDERTAKING OF MY LIFE. I NEVER WANTED THIS, I NEVER ASKED FOR IT. UNTIL TODAY. UNTIL TEN HOURS AGO, SITTING OUTSIDE STARBUCKS, WHEN I SAID THAT I WOULD DO IT. AM I INSANE? OR IS THIS GOD FINALLY BREAKING THROUGH MY PRECONCEPTIONS?

I'LL HAVE TO CHANGE. I'LL NEED TO BE A BETTER PERSON. I'LL NEED TO STEP UP AND FINALLY BE THE PERSON I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CAPABLE OF BEING BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE NEED FOR.

I NEED THAT BETTER PERSON NOW.
