So am I BMW. We all are the sum total of the good and bad parts of our lives. The hard stuff is supposed to give us character, show the world what we're "really" made of....and if it almost kills us in the process, some say to chalk it up as life....that everyone has something that they struggle with.

But when you have to spend everyday struggling with "whatever" it is you get to carry around on your back and in your heart, it can wear you down. When you see others making the same mistakes and you know what the consequences can be...it takes you back to a time when it was your pain, your uncertainty and while you have to live with that daily reminder...you learned from it..you grew into a better person because of it. That doesn't make it less painful but it makes all of our hearts bigger because you are in our lives...teaching us what you learned the hard way.

Oh boy, I woke up too early and full of steam today.
