Change is a peculiar phenomenon. You believe you desire it until it's right in front of you, and then you understand how frightening it is.
That's where I found myself—at the brink of my own limits, contemplating whether I dared to move ahead or if I would merely continue repeating the same worn-out cycles, pulling everyone I loved down along with me.
