limits

you never know your limits until they're broken.
after that happens, you learn to pick up the pieces, see where you went wrong, and understand that nothing will ever feel quite the same.
after you accept those terms, you spend the rest of your life trying to find peace with your past; those limits that were tested and pushed.
i admire the man who said something along the lines of.. it is not the obstacles that you encounter in life that are the hard part, it's the living your life part that proves to be the toughest challenge.

i have just begun the search, and am thoroughly terrified.
