“Actualizing greatness will often cost you people, places and things, the price is so high that many opt out and embrace normalcy. but those who understand they were born for greatness and choose to weather the storms of transition and change, will experience a limitless and unfathomable existence.”

Inspired by some notifications of my legacy posts from more than one of my recently added friends, I did my Facebook total recap as well. It was a brief timeline with lots of milestones and life events to remember, with the people and art I always embrace.
Although some of the awkward silent moments when I behaved childishly are still quite embarrassing, I do see myself growing in every aspect - knowledge, attitude, capabilities, etc. but the kid inside of me is still that kid. "Just because I don't say or complain as much, doesn't mean there's no struggle anymore..." I wrote a few months ago, people don't understand it, but I know it. It's just over time, I realize there's no point complaining, explaining, trying to persuade or begging others to understand, or at least even respect, because they don't. You have to do it, hard, like really hard, making it happen and then show them - it's possible, it's our choice, it's our belief, to love, to care and to value. However, it's still going to take way longer to cure it deeply from the root, but my faith is even stronger.
I think I love myself better now - more determined, concentrated, calm, relaxed, understanding, able, etc. I'm not afraid of losing, or being hurt anymore, because I know the price and the direction of mine; I expect incidents so they won't surprise me anymore. It has always been a tough path, but I know I'm on the right one.
Thank you all for being here with me. We've still got a long way to go, so Keep Up the Faith.
