Life is hard, but I've been told it's what you make of it. So, I'm trying to look out on life with a bit more sunshine in my eyes. Pessimism and cynicism seem to have ruled my life, and still plays a large part in it. But, I'm letting a bit of optimism into my system. It burns, like a sincere hug.
I did good today, not losing control of my blood when I got to do some sparring. I seem to have left with some loose teeth and a bloody mouth, but I won more than I lost. I didn't almost rip out someone's adam's apple, or hammer fist one in the side of the head, so I chalk that up as a plus in my book. All I can do is carry on, try not to fuck up, and if I do get back on the path.
