I could not get used
to the idea of there being classes of people inherently inferior to oneself, to
whom one could be as odiously condescending or downright brutal as one likes,
yet with whom one lived as intimately as family. [Robyn
Davidson, Desert Places]
It’s how Life is, I suppose, even if I don’t want to BElieve
it so, especially in myself. But there it is. I feel “better than” some and “inferior
to” others. As I’m certain others are about me, or “my kind” of people, as well
themselves. I never really thought about getting “used to the idea,” I think I
have struggled with recognising it. Then, of course, acknowledging it.
The two important
things that I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow
yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavour is taking the
first step, making the first decision. [Robyn
Davidson, Tracks]
I had a struggle inside of myself yesterday. Did I want to
rest and just BE or could I, mayBE, allow myself to BE greater than how tired
and sore I was feeling and BE who I truly want to BE, or at least who I want to
BElieve I can BE?!
Life is all about making choices and taking steps…
I love you, Currie

Tough choices ♥ Trying to balance what we want to be and what we are capable of being. i find that if I stretch myself just a bit farther than what I feel I can be it feels better as long as I don't push to hard and too far. A difficult line to locate.I know you made the choice that was best for you :)
