No one gets an easy pass in life. And it seems it's especially unkind to you, which breaks my heart to see. But I guess we all meet struggles while pursuing our dreams. Sometimes our knees shake when facing giants, and sometimes our feet get knocked out from under us. The moments that define lives aren't always obvious, though. They don't always scream ledge, and nine times out of ten there's no rope to duck under, no line to cross, no blood pact, no official letter on fancy paper. They aren't always protracted, heavy with meaning. Sometimes they are the quiet admission that you've been led down the wrong path. That you were lied to and deceived. Sometimes it's simply the fact that a promise was broken, and you're left in shambles trying to pick up the pieces.
