I am slowly coming to grips with the nature of my plans. They’ve not occurred as I practiced for months ahead, they’re not all going as they should, I’m attempting to unearth new ways to feel that I’ve won.
But it’s not all bad news. I have what I have, I’m thankful, I know there’s good all around me to compensate for the aims I’ve missed.
Some day I’m going to find something to be enormously proud of.

Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.
-Victor Hugo
