Striving

Life is never as simple as we want or hope it to be. We can find ourselves suddenly in an uneasy situation that resembles a time you faced before but thought you have learnt from it.  You may have even vowed to never let it happen again. Easier said than done right?

Our personality, our character, our nature are the birth we endured and the days and years after that. Our surroundings of places and people left as many footprints as we leave wherever we go. We are changed, shaped and shifted throughout our lives.

Who knows why shit happens, but it does. The only thing we have control over our own decisions and choices, and we won’t always get it perfect, but at best we should strive to do better than before.
