Passing on the torch.
One problem has been resolved, a new one begins. I guess life is full of these challenges anyway. They're our proving grounds and our exercise field. One prepares us for the next and our performance dictates who we are:
"Someone said, 'I am three persons: the person I think I am, the person you think I am, and the person I really am.'"
I guess sometimes its difficult when you have to realize that you are exactly those three people, never more, never less. I am never the person that someone else thinks I am, only the person YOU think I am. Sure, sometimes that has its benefits...someone has an unfavorable view of me and you don't let it affect you. It works the other way, too. And that sometimes sucks.
