Arrival

I have made many side trips along the way and struggled, too, to find my "path" . . . failed in public, sometimes quite dramatically

been "controversial" . . . dark

but through it all I persisted in trying to heal old wounds and move ahead . . . no one is "perfect" -- really one of my least favorite words

and not everyone will allow you to fail as you move forward -- but those who refuse to allow your growth need their volume knobs turned down low

keep moving forward; if you slip, you slip

get back up and, best as you can, keep moving forward

forgive yourself for taking longer than you thought . . . a KEY piece (it seems to me) in really, ultimately
