walk in the dark alone with me, hold my hand. together. through the mist of dawn we find ourselves on a road we never expected. alone. together.

This challenge is mine and mine alone. Words of encouragement drift as I continue to surpass my own goal each day, each moment. This story is mine. As each page turns, may I continue to build the greatest story ever to be read.

And every once in a while I engage long enough to remember why I keep an arms length from some of the very best.

Some day, I will get past being twenty-something and life's doors will open. I will still be wearing the same pair of heels, you can bet. But instead of needing to break them in, I'll be able to running laps around them with style and grace.

I am new at this, all of this. I have accepted the fact that I won't get it right the first time the second time or even the third time. Damned be my own fate if I don't take the first step.

Why wasn't it me? Maybe I didn't break him. Maybe the problem was he couldn't break me. Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they are meant to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.
