Spending time with so many people in my life has been...enlightening to say the least.
In many terms, they're a disaster.
But, their selfless dysfunction is ultimately why it all works.
It's clear to me that we all react to life's challenges in different ways.
Some fight death.
And, some embrace it's solace.
Some recognize their fate, and others do whatever is necessary to alter it.
Sometimes we defy others expectations and occasionally we rise to meet them.
But, the constant is being true to ourselves.
We do what we have to when we have to.
We react for better or for worse.
It's why we all succeed.
