something I journaled, but felt was worth sharing …

the vision is always clearest when the dust settles. and you realize you were more harsh than you needed to be… because no one has ever defended you the way you defend yourself.

and you realize that just because there never was, doesn’t mean there never will be.

and you realize that if you keep building the wall higher for the people determined enough to keep climbing, they might just give up one day.

and you realize that we are all still growing and learning and improving, we are all works in progress

and you realize …

that gold doesn’t always glitter. sometimes it’s covered in dust and needs a little TLC.

but when the dust settles .. that gold is worth it’s wait.
