The Other Side of Pain

A car accident brought me to her. I, better than most, know all about life's ups and downs. The should ofs , and wish I hads. The truth of the matter is, life is literally what you make it. What you work towards, and how much you are willing to suffer to achieve your greatness. You can do anything but you gotta start. I admit that I knew this before I met her. Seeing Deb though in her element, listening to the words she carefully considered and spoke, I re-learned. Sometimes you have to hit your lowest point to get what you want. Now that bleak, and overwhelming morning I was not thinking about where it would bring me months down the road. I wasn't thinking about who I would eventually meet because of it. In that moment I was not mindful, I was afraid and driven by fear … funny enough it drove me right into the power source I needed.
