Don't mistake my love of desolation for something as pathetic as desperation.
Yeah, right now I'm a desperado, but not over you. My back is up against the ropes but it's because I'm fighting my inner demons and developing myself... I'm finally finding that internal balance everyone needs. Right now I feel at peace with the world, like I don't owe it anything and it owes me nothing.
Life is a journey and a sport. It's all about aspiring to become the greatest possible and reaching into yourself for the answers... It isn't about how everyone else is living, it's about how hard you're pushing yourself. You will take hits, you will fall down. But getting back up to play a little harder is the key.
It's not about winning or loosing because in the end, we all pretty much end up in the same place. No, life is all about what you want to make out of it. Everything you feel is temporary and will be in the past eventually.
No one realizes these days what potential they have. You could meet a complete stranger in an hour and have the potential to change their life in some way. Be it something you say to them, the way you may approach them, you could do something that will stay with them until they're gone. That is such an amazing thing so why not make the best of it? Pass on some hope, pass along a little faith.
I admit that I'm no where close to being perfect. But at least I know my mistakes and admit my problems. I am changing and I am growing. And I will find someone who can see that and appriciate it.
