Why is it that just when you have realised you're at the pinnicle of joy in your life, that everything is going so swell, and life is a kid in a candy store, that you also realise the mirage you're living in is fading away so fast? Life isn't fair, it sometimes sucks but you live through it, adapt, change, and grow. You find who you are, stick with that person and live. If something is limiting you, you either wait it out, or take matters into your own hands. It is that simple. You have no excuse not to live, it's what you were born to do. But what if an oppresive force is hindering you, stunting your growth and culling your abilities to do much more with your life? What if you can't, legally, take matters into your own hands and your only choice is to wait all ten months of it out? You still don't stop living. What you do do is start appreciating the virtue of patience, and how through time you can achieve anything. As long as you live.
