I know that there where so many times, especially in the beginning, when I heard some of the cliches about time and fate and I was sure they would never apply to my life or my situation. How can something so terrible bring about anything but destruction? I didn't want to be stronger, I didn't want to look back one day and appreciate anything, I wanted my life back. It took me along time to understand that I had no control over anything but myself, sometimes I didn't even have control over myself.(Thank You Johnny Walker Red) I wished, I prayed, I begged and pleaded with anyone and everything to take away the impossible. But Life would have no part of easing my pain, it pushed me along, day by day and let me feel every emotion it felt I needed to experience. It taught me it's lessons and popped me on the head when it felt like I wasn't paying attention. I wasn't an easy student, Life was a harder teacher. I'm still learning. The biggest difference for me now is that I want to learn, I no longer think I know it all. Life has a way of picking us up and putting us down right where we're supposed to be. Have faith in the journey, you are on the path your suppose to walk.
