They told you in the beginning to hold on because it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. They were not wrong.

Did you believe them?

No. Of course you didn’t. You thought you were ready. You were different. You were prepared.

But, nothing in life is like this. Nothing ever is.

The first time is the one chance for life to throw you a curve ball.

Even if they described it, perfectly, like really well – in detail. You still wouldn’t have been able to internalize and imagine it.

So. What’s next? Just hold on. You will like it or hate it, but it will be solely your experience to have and it will never be like that again.
