To know
Author: Elena M. Calabrese

To know defeat, to recognize you have hit bottom, that you are at a point in your life filled with disgust, is an accomplishment in itself. To know this also means you know inside that there is an opposite to this dispare. To know you are weak at this moment is the first grain of strength. The fight to the top is only as hard as you make it, remember how easy it was to hit bottom. Set your top within sight and when you get there, even if it means looking down from where you came. Take a deep breath and look up again setting another top within reach. Keep that gut wrenching memory, that dispare behind you, lurking in the shadows so it reminds you to walk in the light.
