Outlast It

OMG. This dude could not be more on the money. It rings such truth in my own life, I started getting a little misty at one point. Just thinking about all the things that I have been through - personally, professionally, emotionally, medically, musically LOL, shit, you name it - the fact that Im still here with all my faculties in tact, head above water, even if just barely.....

See, I've morphed into the turtle, but I started out the hare. I got out the blocks quick and kept a steady pace for a long time. I was the first to do a lotta shit in my family and in my social circle. But one day, out of nowhere, the ceiling came crashing down, and I've been trying to piece it back together ever since. It seems as though my life has been one big storm after another from that day on. SO many things, but I learned this lesson early: all you gotta do is outlast it.

I been bobbing and weaving for ten years straight and Im just now beginning to see the real fruits of my resilience. TEN YEARS, yall. Going THROUGH it. Half the time, nobody having any idea. But Im telling you, I feel like I could fall on my knees right this second and never get up, I have so much to be thankful for. And I cant wait til I get in my new place, where I can lay in the middle of the floor with not a damn thing in the room but me and look at the ceiling and FINALLY be able to say..........

"I made it."
