What is life if not this...
.
A beautiful path in the woods.
.
A path that looks so pristine and inviting from first glimpse.
.
But the path forward isn't always clear, is it?
.
Sometimes it takes you uphill for many miles... leaving you out of breath, exhausted, downtrodden, frustrated, and slick with sweat.
.
But, sometimes it is just as sweet as it looks... smooth downhills, a gentle breeze ruffling your hair and the easy satisfaction that you are clearly progressing.
