It always gets the worst
Before it gets better

Pain motivates change

Sometimes it means letting go
Of something that isn’t working

Hard when you’ve made
An arbitrary commitment
That come hell or high water
You’ll get through it
You’ll just try harder

Hard to admit
It’s not going to work
Especially when others are depending on you

Hard to be honest
About what you can physically handle
Hard to ask others
To make concessions for you

But harder to live with nagging doubts and worries
Harder to bring the whole ship down with you
Harder to stay the same, than to have failed and changed and learned
