this girl will keep walking onward

this was originally just a post on a picture i was playing with in a photo editing software.

today, a day before July closes, my heart breaks for a seemingly unending challenge prevailing in the workplace. it seems like there's no end to keep pushing for more. close to my breaking point, i couldn't help but to recognize the tension within and i just couldn't contain the tears welling up. i had to let it all go, suck it in and straighten up my back. a minute or two of just crying over it in the ladies room did the therapy. there's no enemy, only the overwhelming sense of pressure. wiping my tears, clearing my vision i just know i have to move along. if i give up, there will be no victory for me. if i let this defeat me, there is no real growth taking place. i am not tough. i only strive to get better each day. today is a fork in the road. i choose to follow the one that may offer more obstacles up ahead but will surely teach me the value of not giving up.

i will honor today by taking one more step. forward.
