as much as we think we can prepare ourselves, we are never really ready for what comes next unless we face it. if there is any chance at all to overcome our own battles may it lead us through the next phase of our life only to turn our backs on the enemy, walk through the door that lies ahead, and close it behind us. my message here is intended to invoke the courage inside of you to achieve what must be done as you step into the life you dream of. for if we do not care for ourselves, how can we truly care about the ones we surround ourselves with?
