My Horizon Cometh...

"So I set out on my own just to breath again. 

Touch the light that calls me home just to reach the end"

The storm that appeared suddenly had begun to dissipate.  Looking over my ship I found many valuables tossed overboard from the force of the storm.  Yet nothing worth being grieved over since the horizon promises so much more.  Going over the passenger manifest I found many had taken the lifeboats when they saw the storm coming.  In truth it made me feel a bit melancholy because I really thought they trusted me to get the ship through. Yet at the same time I felt somewhat relieved to at least be able to identify those that sought the glory of the horizon without the willingness to bear the cost it took to get there.  I suppose one could say the ones that stayed had earned their part.  I will also make honorable mention of a few that entered the vessel during the storm.  They bailed water like honorable seamen worth their weight in gold earning their part as well.  My trip took longer than expected but by the grace of God, we are still underway.  What storms await only God knows and what strength it takes to get there I am sure He will provide.  Nothing worth having ever comes easy and what value is placed on what we seek is made manifest by what sacrifice we are willing to undertake to have it.  This trip has taught me this much thus far.  I am content to press forward with less...

A captains log I came up with to illustrate a point.  You will set goals and follow through.  Some will see it and cheer you on.  They may even hitch a ride on your bandwagon.  Watch what they do at the hiccups you face along the way.  Do they bail on you?  Or do they stick by you?  This not only determines who is and isn't your friend but it also makes known who actually believes in you and who just stuck around to be able to take something from you they didn't earn.  Keep quiet and press on.  Those you lose, you didn't really have anyway.  Hold no bitterness or anger as they did you a kindness.  They let themselves be known for you without having to find out later...when you do meet your goal.  I make nothing known or unknown.  I just watch and learn.  From what I've seen?  Shit lol  I'm so close to unplugging it's unreal.  I'm down to three things keeping me around...if my stomach can still handle the rest.  I'm out
