You are being setup to walk into your destiny.
When you're reading a book you don't cry at the chapter you just finished because you know another chapter is behind it.
There was more that was required of me and I made a choice to say yes.
The weight of knowing that I was not in the right space started to weigh on me.
Many endings are going to hurt. They are not going to feel good and are going to make you feel uncomfortable. They will not seem fair.
