You are not a coward. You have walked into the countless firestorms of life that would make the knees of a champion shudder at the very sight. You raised a child and held the hand of a dying loved one. You pulled from every inner resource to keep an entire family functioning and fed. You are not a coward. You once hit the bottom of a dark pit only to climb out to greet the next light of transition. You didn’t need nerves of steel or pray for superhuman strength, but relied on a determined heart of love to live your life for something big.

The Truth
I believe people can change
because of the changes in me
but…
they have to see the need
and want to change themselves
not everyone will change
just because I love them,
or they love me –
just because I want them to –
in fact, most of them won’t
My part in life, is to be myself,
realize my value,
live what I believe
and not allow someone else
to change me into who I am not,
or take away my value
To be in a relationship with someone
is to trust all that you are to another person
and to trust someone enough to allow them into yourself
If that other person has values,
or behaviors,
that are damaging them,
they will damage me.
they will bring harm to who I am.
What and who I become in the relationship
will necessarily reflect what and who they are
how we speak to, and treat each other,
will make a major difference in the quality of our lives.
This is the truth
