The Struggle Is Real


The ability to obtain and retain tenasity and persistence is no walk in the park. It's a life challenge that stalks you everywhere you go, watches your every move, craves your fear, and oppresses your goals, which forces you to put your life on hold. This is a skill that cannot be taught, it cannot be shared, and it cannot be stolen. You have to learn it on your own, that's the challenge. Because without it, how can you take on life? To this very day, I fail to grasp the concept. I quit everything I attempt and brush it under the rug,when I should be doing the exact opposite. TRYING. The Struggle is Real.          *FreeFlow*
