AGAINST THE CURRENT.
(A NOTE ON MOTIVATION).
MY BRAIN IS MY TRAITOR. AS TIME GOES ON IT MAKES ME THINK THAT I BELONG HERE.
MY LIFE IS A DECEPTION. AS TIME GOES ON, I PICK UP MORE AND MORE RESPONSIBILITIES ALONG THE WAY AND I SLOWLY FORGET THAT IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITIES THAT SHOULD BE GUIDING MY LIFE, BUT I AM. FOR MY LIFE IS ONLY ONE.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND EVERTHYNG THAT COMES WITH IT ARE JUST A FEW MORE POUNDS ADDED TO MY LIFE'S BENCH PRESS. ADJUST, EXERCISE MY MUSCLE, BUT NEVER BE SMASHED BY THEM.NEVER.
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS MAYBE TEN I USED TO SWIM FOREVER AGAINST THE CURRENT OF OUR RIVER NEAR MOSCOW. NONE OF THE ADULTS COULD CATCH UP WITH ME. I KNOW WHY NOW. AS WE GET OLDER WE WANT TO GIVE IN TO THE CURRENT. AND THIS IS HOW WE LOSE THE SIGHT OF WHAT WE DREAMT OF SWIMMING TO.
ALWAYS SWIM AGAINST THE CURRENT.
ALWAYS LIVE AGAINST THE CURRENT.
