Because I knew you, I have been changed...
-Wicked
The last five days I have lived through what I deem perhaps some of the most stressful moments in my entire life.
I have walked deserts of anger, rivers of tears, cliffs of hurt, plains of forgiveness, valleys of love, torrentials of worry and ultimately sailed through oceans of terror. But having survived through a hurricane of feelings in a world of uncertainty I've come to finalyl feel the joy of victory.
As hard as it was to chain the werewolf I had become and hold back from letting that fierce beast loose to ravage my life I was able to. Despite the scars that will now mark my soul I am happy, for I did it, I was able to.
Today I have to thank all those who have knowingly(or unknowingly) sought to do me harm in the past, for even if their names and actions are not worthy of credit or mention those have helped me grow.
With all certainty I can say I am a better man today than yesterday. Today I smile a brighter smile.
There's no worth in hurting others or be indifferent because of what someone has done to us in the past. Those feelings shoud die with the past.
And I quote the wise words of Elphaba and Glinda: Because I knew you I have been changed for good.
Lesson learned: We are all bigger than our pasts...if we want to be.
