You should take it from here.

Few things hurt like we thought they would.
The speech you were dreading to give. The infamous flu shot. The 15 year mortgage. Pausing for breakfast. And maybe the most avoided of all, vulnerability.
It’s those things we didn’t see coming in our peripheral that bear the most pain.
Awareness, we need you.
That is your job.
Wherever you are.
You are here to be what connects us to the unconnected.
Without you we would not have known, seen, tasted, experienced, or maybe even conceived whatever you brought our way.
Somewhere in you there’s a light. It could be in your head, in your eyes, in your gut, or in your chest.
Wherever it may be is irrelevant.
Just let it shine.
You are our middle man and we need to be shown the way.
Smiles.
Frowns.
1 note.
1000 text messages.
Dead lifts.
Couch potato’ing.
Wondering.
Wandering.
Hi.
Bye.
Focus.
Lala Land.
Your music.
Karaoke & cover songs.
Small successes.
Small failures.
Blood.
Sweat.
Tears.
You name it.
It’s a numbers game.
And you get what you give, not what you take.
Gradually then suddenly.
