dansmesbras asked: I was on the elliptical today, and was thinking about your current position. I remembered you used to run, so that's my idea: life is like a run. When you're running, you try to push yourself, to keep going, even if your legs hurt or if you're short of breath; you keep going. Don't you see life this way as well? You may be out of breath now, but if you keep going, you'll be able to run as fast as before, if not faster :)

Haha… Thank you for thinking about me, Fran. I really like the way you connected my current situation with my passion for running and came up with a pretty cool analogy.

You know, when I first started running that’s EXACTLY what I did. I used to push myself everyday. I used to run further and further. When running long distances got easy for me I used to try to run faster than before and then up steeper hills. I made it so I did better each day than the day before.

That’s exactly what I need to do with my life now. I need to take control of it again and make sure I push through everything. I need to break past the point I’m at and then strive forwards to reach my goals. I might be tired right now and close to giving up but I’m going to get through this.

Thank you so much for your amazing message :)
