I want to be strong, I want to be the strong one. Yet in my infinite weakness I want my thoughtfulness and care and love to be known. No one will read this, but the knowledge that it could be read is somehow comforting. I have been asked the same question recently by two people that I admire and hold dear, and if they were reading this and if there were such a thing as answers to such huge, existential questions as "how" and "why" one makes decisions, I think these two quotes, for me, respectively explain those questions.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
