Running away is a human reaction, and all my life, I've done it. Avoiding difficult situations, avoiding hard work and avoiding difficult people. I used the excuse of laziness, but really... I've been running away from the truth and the things I didn't want to work for.
The first thing I realized that I was running away from was my own emotions. You caught my interest, and when it didn't seem like it was going to work out, I chose to run. I chose to just get away from it, pretend it didn't happen and just avoid it entirely. Now, I see that I simply have to keep fighting for it. When you aim to obtain something, sometimes running recklessly toward it isn't the best method. I will move forward, I will forget, and I will push forward.We fight our fears as we overcome pain and grow.
The second realization is my change in heart. Effort can always get you somewhere, but I was afraid I might fail if it didn't. But now, I realize that fear was irrational, and not worth being afraid of. If you do something to the best of your ability, you can never fail, because the effort itself is success. So I will hold goals, and I will persevere, there are so many more things to be afraid of, and failure is not one of them.
