READY FOR BATTLE

Ok, so I wasn't handed a big dose of patience overnight, but I was slapped with reality. Not in a bad way; in a way that opened my eyes to what needed to be. And trust me when I say that that's definitely not a bad thing! No, it will all be for the better. I will admit though that I can't believe it's taken me this long to clue in to reality. I don't find it funny, maybe sadly ironic though, to be faced with this now. I'm glad that I know it, but I do think that if I knew it a long time ago it would've saved a bunch of heartache. That was all so needless and it didn't have to be. What a lost battle that was! But this one..this one I will not lose. I refuse to! REFUSE. There's just no middle ground with it this time. I'm not saying that the road won't have potholes every so often to make me stumble a step or two - I am realistic, I live in Saskatchewan for crying out loud! - but I won't fall. The road hurts more than the sacrifice and I don't want to taste the asphalt yet again! It's really not all that fun in my opinion.
