Some people aren’t happy with what they have in life. They wouldn’t be happy even if they had the moon on a stick. You can’t make people appreciate what they have or what they’ve been given, but you can make sure you appreciate your own hand of life’s cards. When you’ve worked hard to get somewhere, or worked your butt off to get something; When you finally achieve it, all the blood and sweat and tears, all the anger and frustration you’ve gone through, all the emotions and tireless hours of thoughts and dreams… all that makes getting something you’ve worked damn hard to get, worth it. As long as, when you’ve got it, you make the most of it.
Anyone who puts that much effort into something and then allows themselves be disappointed by the end result is only letting themselves down. From experience I can tell you that there is nothing I work hard to get that I don’t make sure I appreciate when I’ve got it. The last few years of my life have been filed with an endless journey. In some ways I suppose the journey was one of self discovery. I found out how hard I could push myself, how much I could give up and live without to get to my goals, and what its like to finally reach the goal only to realise the journey has only just begun.
This is my story. How I got to where I wanted to be only to discover that that was only half the battle. I am now walking through my life like I’m in a misty valley, visibility zero. I know where I am but I can no longer see the path in front of me and I’m constantly guessing where my feet need to step next. Getting here was the easy part, now I need to figure out where my life goes from here. These chapters are some bits and pieces of my journey. I hope to keep writing until my journey is complete, whatever the outcome. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed experiencing them.
