"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

A Bumpy Ride

A broken family. A broken dream. I can't help but dwell on it all. I look back and think that it was too much. Why couldn't he just understand? Why couldn't he change? And above all, why did it have to be him? I wasted so much time on trying to keep things together.
I knew I would go down this road eventually. I've just created so many detours it's made going down this road that much harder. I feel the car wanting to give in each time I drive over a bump or through a deep hole. Jerking left and right trying to get around as much of the hard parts as possible. I want to drive off the road until I see that it's smooth. Doing that, I would only be creating another detour. I have to go through it.

I will no longer be a prisoner.
