I’ve been told I’m a great problem solver. A wiz with numbers, however no ones understood how I reach my solutions. In fact most said I make the equation even more complicated; but I get the same answer. Simplifying the equation never made it easier for me because I had to see each step, understand it, and I repeated it over and over. Not every problem can be simplified or have a short cut so I never cared to use them. This is true in life as well, times where no one can lend a hand or will truly understand your independent struggle. At least it feels independent because you may never let them know what’s going on 100% just a bit here and there. In times like those it’s best to look past the problem and find the solutions regardless if you can simply or not, most times you can’t. That’s when you realize you may need help from others not to approve of your work or even check it, just to help you move forward as emotional support. No one knows exactly where they are headed we can stride and some will make it but most get pushed back or even stop in their tracks because of boundaries we never anticipated. Look past those problems find a solution and never let anything break your spirit; in fact let that be the spark that helps you ignite into that Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Moving open my eyes to a lot almost gave up today.
