Falling
I stuggled with my internal thoughts once again this morning. Questioning my own decisions. As the morning wears on, I become able to push aside the thoughts that will only do me harm in the end.
We all have internal demons. I just fight not to listen to them. As time passes, their persistence wans. Life will be filled with other events, other work, other pursuits, and unwanted thoughts get pushed aside during the course of the day (or that is my hope).
There is no way to change the past, but today is what is important. To show others how we live and that we appreciate being with them.
We all fall. We all make mistakes. But we have to pick ourselves up off the ground and move on. I don’t want to forget the fall, but I don’t make it apart of my daily life anymore. I want my writing to show commitment to the future, acknowledgment of what is good in life and what I am prepared to give tomorrow.
That is all I want, and don’t want any more than that in return.
