It's been a mantra I've been repeating to myself the past few days. I think I center myself by keeping in touch with my past. Although it is a grind, being concious of this process keeps me sane.
Begin - the initial. Maintain - the struggle to keep up. Continue - embracing the after.
I pulled out Nhuanh's hemp bracelet the other day. I've been wearing it ever since just as a reminder of how I got to where I am today. Looking back always propells me forward, and it's the people that remind me that life is beautiful no matter what bullshit we have to deal with.
My eyes are bigger than my swollen ankle. And my ankle is supersickwiditswollen.
