Human beings go through storms . We fight and wait and seek and struggle and finally when the stormclouds clear, you may find yourself a different person . You find yer heart moving in a different direction, as if yer inner compass has shifted . When the clouds part and we feel these very real changes, we fight this person . But the best you can do is love that person . Accept and expose that person to the world . Because the past is just another ball and chain, and we can’t neglect who we are, in order to be who we should be . Because that is what transcending is all about: dying over and over again to discover a new person underneath, a new piece of ourselves trying to be set free .
