Once you choose hope, anything's possible -Christopher Reeve
​​I am in pain. I am in constant physical pain; pain that has lasted for three months.
 
But, if I am completely honest, I have been in pain for the past eight (8) years.
 
If you ever wondered what my all-time favorite movie is, without hesitation, I would say Forrest Gump. A slow-witted individual who never thought of himself at any disadvantage, inspiring and saving anyone he came in contact with through his childlike optimism.

​My job is to inspire.

I would also say that my job is to run around in circles as fast as possible, but that can also fit the description of circus clowns, or three stooges’ impersonators. I think it’s better to say inspire, as it pretty much sums it all up.

"... Ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you." Paulo Coelho
​​What has this ‘sport’ done for me that should cause me to put everything down and focus on it first….
 
Besides leave me broke and disrespected, depleted and hopeless, standing alone in piles of shame and guilt, there stands no reason to continue in such one-sided relationship.

We deeply hope to believe that what we give is equal to what we receive, but when it comes to the issue of Love, those who love with expectations to be loved in return are wasting their time.
