Paths

I chose a different path, some based on fear, some based on duty and ideals. Now I have to live with that choice. I'll always be behind the curve when it comes to my peers as their views on what success really means to them. I know that the people that truly know me and know who (more of a "what", cause I didn't even know who I was back then) I was a long time ago know that I might have been fully capable of getting a good job and maybe nice things but I would have been miserable on the inside. I have been in fights over my insecurities with good friends in the past, and knew that's not me who ever I am.

I learned valuable lessons through war. Tomorrow is never promised and struggle develops character it either brings out the worst in you or the very best. And I've struggled with feeling the worst and the best. I can't change who I've become but it's better than what could have been.

Cause through war I learned Crossfit. Crossfit teaches me that there are people who care about more than what they have and see today, that there is hope that through struggle they will overcome and be better tomorrow. Those people will pick you off the ground and help you rise when the gravity of things just "seems" to heavy. That gives me hope..... sometimes hope just has to be enough.
