Why

Advertisements

I was putting this off for too long because I didn’t see how it would work.

How I could even convince myself to give it a try and then turn around and convince you too.

The pain is worth the gain, but for how long will I try and succeed at this.

Will the time get away from me, and will I return to my old habits?

Because I’ve never succeeded at this for very long, and when I did once, I felt great; I stopped anyways.

When will this cycle end, and am I capable enough to get it done or forever be stuck?

I guess I will have to wait and see how it turns out, as it’s only been three weeks.
