Hindsight

I envisioned it differently
with brightly colored red poppys
the smell of lavender wafting gently through the air
the scene of a warm summer day with the soft breeze softly grazing my skin

I envisioned the rag time band
the horns the drums the joyful beats
moving my body, swaying me from left to right to left to...
I somehow lost the beat
Perhaps because I envisioned it differently

I envisioned it like refreshing water
pouring slowly and deliberately down my throat in the August heat
The coolness charging my insides
A sudden contacture of my pupils, the tiny hairs on my arms standing on end.

I envisioned it differently,
so what
do i
do now?

The thing about setbacks...

So, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I have had my fair share of setbacks. And, to be quite honest, I am sick and tired of it. Just when I see myself starting to climb up that hill to success, a mudslide just brings me right back down to ground zero.

But the thing about setbacks is that they piss me off. They piss me off really really bad. They piss me off so bad that I come back with a vengeance and with this brutal power to conquer everything in my sight. Sure, it doesn't always work but it does get me going. It's like riding the worlds fastest crotch rocket and feeling invincible (sidenote: never been on a crotch rocket, just trying to be analogous).

So to you my dear reader I say, get pissed off. Get really mad. It's good. And come back with a vengeance. So what if you have a setback, the question is - What are you going to do about it?
