When you are walking/running your life, maybe it is best for you to give yourself a chance, a time, to stop for a while and do this. Introspection. Looking inward. Examining one's thoughts and feelings. Compromising. There are hopes and dreams. There is also reality. Negotiating. Reality should not holding your pace. Hopes and dreams should be challenging, not burdening. Life is not always about running but also enjoying every step you make. Don't think just feel. You lose something, didn't do lots of thing. But you also gain more things and do many wonderful things. Life's like this. Everybody has their own "mission" in life. And everything you do has purpose in it. You are special. To be able to live your life another day, to be able to wake up in the morning, it is a gift. To be able to feel pain, sadness, misery is making you realize that you're alive. In the end you should be realizing how fortunate, how beautiful your life is. Hopefully. Eventually. Thank God for giving me another day to live in.

Now move on with your life. And I'll do the same with mine.
