I'm not sure what came over me today. I just felt the need to post this to Reddit. I've been so focused on all the goals I wanted to accomplish, but haven't achieved, that I was paralyzed with fear. I've been so overwhelmed by the setbacks and demands and disappointments and heartaches and struggles that I've been overwhelmed, depressed, and angry. I've spent more time ruminating in my despair and emotionally blocking myself off from people and life. For reasons I don't quite understand, what I can only describe as divine inspiration, the dam holding in my emotions for months and years just broke wide open. I was so focused on the outcome that I've forgotten how to live. That I needed to appreciate and engage in the process, not just brace myself for disappointment, or drown myself in impotent rage. Today I decided to be proud of myself for trying. Today I decided to be grateful for good health and to appreciate the struggle. Today I decided to be present and powerful and engaged in my life. Today I decided not to abandon myself. Today I decided not to run away and hide. Today I decided to get up everyday and try again. Thank you, and God grant me the strength to try again tomorrow.
