7 easy miles on a cold Thanksgiving morning, I guess this should be a post of inflection.
Wow. Life isn't a lazy river of feelings, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes it feels like you'd rather just have that stagnant flow instead of the wild ride that living truly is because everyone wants the good parts in life, but no one likes rougher parts. It's crazy to think objectively this was the hardest year of my life, easily. I won't reiterate information I've put in prior posts or would like to keep to myself, but this last year my life went a way I'd never imagine it'd go. I also met some amazing people and had without a doubt some of the best times I've ever had, times I feel bad that others may never live life enough to experience. But, maybe the bad times I've gone through this year are why I got to experience the amazing ones. Maybe you need to have nothing to appreciate everything. Everyone wants to love somebody, nobody wants to lose someone. Everyone wants sex, no one wants unplanned pregnancies or AIDS. Everyone wants the highs of life, no one wants the lows that can follow or preclude it. But, once you realize life is really just a game of risks, you become precautious and thrive.
