Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race
Calvin Coolidge.

I am focused.

Rarely do some people have those true life changing events. These last few months have been very trying, and I suppose I’m done with it. With this last revealing news, I question, for the first time in my life, if I can take this any more. I speak in riddles because I believe I am entitled to my privacy; if you ask, I may tell. There are certain aspects about my health that very few people know. Fewer still know how much I’ve been beaten both literally and figuratively. I thank the people that I am able to truly open up to. I recently had one of these newer life-changing events and thus thoughts. It was more over the course of a week, near the second half of February - no specific date, but definitely a specific change in mindset. Luckily it isn’t something that will hold me back. It’s a freeing feeling, that realization. 

The realization that all that there’s nothing left to hold on to. With that, with the empty cup, there’s everything to gain. Hello future. I challenge you to beat me to my knees again.
