Flickers Of Brilliance

Flickers of brilliance, the darkness of loss, the hope for happiness and the tests of love were all there as I made my way to today. No one of these experiences guided me to this point, but all together they aged my body, filled my heart and shaped my soul. I can't say my every decision was correct or good, but they were my decisions. The good, the bad, the happy and the sad still push, pull and test my strength, but I am here, my resolve stronger, my reasons never clearer.
