You know how the mighty salmon navigate upstream. Encountering danger at every turn. Pressing on till they reach their destination, only to die and be devoured by hungry predators. They lived their lives. Did what they were designed to do. That Higher Power saw to it that they should suffer in the long journey home to their final resting place. That is life. A journey each of us must take. We are like that steady flow of salmon desperately trying to make it home, eluding those hungry bears and vultures constantly circling us like the predators they are. Don't be disheartened if you didn't make it past the first hurdle. Unlike the mighty salmon, you will get a second chance. Life is a tough bitch indeed. Swimming against the current is no easy task. You could either go with the flow like some directionally-challenged mook and end up smashing into a rock, meeting a grissly end or you could grow a pair of steel balls and fight the current. Death knocks on either end but the beauty of it all lies behind the way you dealt with the cards you were given. You stood your ground and fought the good fight instead of giving up. The cuts and bruises you got while navigating the worst parts should serve as proof that you weren't scared to let your guard down. Adore your battle scars. Wear them proudly. Life served you well. You served Life well. Two-way traffic that never stops flowing. Life is a never-ending cycle. Keep at it. I am at a crucial part of this journey. Midway between those jagged edges and the hungry bears. "Keep swimming", is what I tell myself. It doesn't end here. Not now. Not if I have anything to do with it. Home is right around the river bend. I'm almost there.
"I just wanna feel real love. Feel the home that I live in. 'Cause I got too much life, running through my veins, going to waste": FEEL - Robbie Williams
