The time has come for me to decide, if I'm going to settle with what I have or if I should fight for what I care about. The truth is, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just life. Because it's only when you're tested, that you discover who you are, that you discover who you can be. The person you can be does exist, beyond the hard work, faith, belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead...
Maybe this is some sort of trial for me, to see what I'm made of. At the end of it, maybe I'll be judged on how I've handled myself and I think I'll only pass the test if I act with honour, if I try my best to do the right thing. If I don't do things out of greed or ambition or hatred. If I keep challenging my decisions against my own beliefs, if I try to be brave and honest and fair. I don't have to be perfect, as long as I keep trying to be perfect, I think I'll make it...
Sometimes you have to be brave, you have to be strong. Sometimes you just can't give in to thoughts of failure. You have to beat down those devils that get inside your head and try to make you panic. You have to struggle along, putting one foot a little bit ahead of the other and hoping that when you go backwards it won't be too far. So when you start going forward again, you won't have so much to catch up. For after all, the best thing one can do when it's raining outside; is to simply let it rain...
