to see progress is to realize that there is no turning back
the pursuit has become too thrilling
just as a boulder tumbles down a hillside, the momentum becomes unstoppable, and before your eyes, your life has taken root in an entirely new place
it may not be the one you had searched for, nor the one you intend to find eternal rest, but it is the result of the small choices that propelled you into this moment
bask in it, draw from it strength,
and know that it is deserved
