Perspective

It's amazing how you can waste days, months...even years of your life, living in the past. Stuck on a page...reading the same words over and over...seemingly powerless to take that step...to turn the page to see what happens next.

But at some point you have to take a deep breath and just do it. Quick...like pulling off a band-aid. And once that intial shock wears off....you realize that there are pages and pages of this book left to read and you were only on the first chapter.

My band-aid is off...and it didn't even hurt. Because I had someone with me to hold my hand and say, "It's gonna be ok." Someone who has made me realize that there was never anything in that first chapter worth missing out on. It was just setting the stage for an even better ending.

yea!

Are you gonna keep teasing us with just bits at a time? I am not judging just asking (and my feelings about your apparent joy don't change because of the answer).

A couple weeks ago, I needed my sister to take off a bandage for me because some of the tape was on a weird spot on my shoulder (where I had trouble reaching). For some dumb reason, she peeled the tape off really slowly. Who the hell does that? You have to rip it off quick. It's the only way.

I bet I'm being too literal, though. :P
