I've come to the decision
that the problem with everything
is other people.

Our internal struggles are mountains we’re used to climbing,
you kind of know the best way to the top.
It’s when you’re confronted with other people’s mountains;
they’re already half way there
and you’re at the bottom looking up.

And there have been people
who have already climbed that mountain before you,
and they've influenced where
that other person has placed their feet.

It’s all an awfully tiring adventure
up other people’s perilous mountains
and you could be swept up in it
and lose yourself entirely
before you've even conquered your own.
Your mountain is a terrifying thing indeed.
