I was caught in a downfall spiral of a loop that I couldn't break free from, and the last year added more difficulties and challenges, that I couldn't see myself except in the bottom of the abyss. I was in a dark place, probably even darker then a Scandinavian winter, and I know Scandinavian winters I have been there, I have lived there and scolded by its darkness and white hell of a snow.
It was this abyss that made me realize that I, and only I have to crawl out to the lightning, I have to make my own path and free myself from this constrains, the physical ones and the mental ones. And that is when I started running again, and that is also when I realized that the pain of running as a free person towards the light of my self faith is definitely a better pain than self harm and running away to the misty cloud of darkness.
The sweat you break is a simple reward of your achievement, but you know what was the reward for me? Seeing that I can change my mental state, seeing that I can cure the damages that I have inflicted to myself in the last years, seeing my progress little by little, seeing that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a cargo train but future versions of myself ushering and waving for me to complete my run, to achieve my goals, to believe in myself.
So believe in yourself, have faith in yourself, you will do it, but only if you really want to, find your motive and hold to it, don't hide from yourself, don't be shy of your wings, open them and fly high while smiling and saying to everyone who doubted you: I believe in myself because I am.
