This is an email from a dear friend of mine that I wanted to put in here so that I could remember it for a very long time, thanks for remembering me:

there is a girl i know
she is s proven swimmer
here is her story
several times she was sure the waves would take her down, still she found a
way to carry on. it is hard to understand her personal struggle, unless one
has tasted the water filling your mouth, the muscles growing weary, and the
overwhelming feeling that... soon you will drown. she of course, did not
give in, did not quit. i admire her, for many have not even begun to swim
this raging river. some talk about how the would and could, but of course
the have not even set foot inside the water. i have watched her swim, then i
too began my own attempt. words have not the color to paint certain
pictures, one must experience and know. i move across this river, i find my
struggle not as difficult. what is the reason?
AND this is the opening, you must move to step through, i cannot push or
pull you, though, i know that is what you would most desperately like.
i watch you swim
i move faster than you
why?
i do not carry others
parasites dressed in flesh
they will suck you dry
and complain when they blood is gone
leave them
speak of your duty
of your responsibility
and it is your obligation to suffer
cut those leeches away
or they will devour your very soul
i cannot illustrate more
for already this is grossly exaggerated
all relationships are balanced on a trade off
what do they give you?
answer that
for you are well aware of what you provide
i do doubt, that you gain anything from your recipients
you hope to save those that will pull you under the wave
they wish to drown themselves
they cannot help
they have not even begun to swim
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER, PARTAKE IF YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH.
shed them
as you will shed tears for their passing
but you must pass
or the change you seek
will never come.
THE WEAK WILL EMBRACE THAT WHICH THEY CANNOT CHANGE.
