An old friend once taught me, if it's worth it, you'll take the risk, and you'll do whatever you have to do. It's about how you feel, how your partner feels, the emotional tension between you both. Whether or not those same emotions make you feel as small as an ant, or induce you with the capability to walk on sunshine. You fight and fix your way through what makes you weak, in that hopefully a mutual understanding occurs, an accomplishment is made, and you progress with a better attitude, an acknowledgement that you are and were stronger than what held you down.
At this rate, times are rough, and life happens...
