let me tell you something - yeah imagine my voice is raised.
I had to check out for a while. I won't go into detail. But I had to hide out for a period of time. The people I knew forgot who I was. My social life didn't suck, because there is no way to rate something that didn't exist.
SACRIFCE. What is giving up a small portion of your time/life when the rewards at the end are boundless? If we keep swimming in the fringes and eddies of that whirlpool we will get sucked in and never find our way out. Time to get out of the pool and dry off. Sit on the sidelines for a bit. Maybe when we learn to swim again will it be safe to get back in.
Hope this makes sense.
