Managing Alone

A lot of people say that it is lonely at the top. I can say it's true. What is even lonelier is to be at the top knowing your family is thousands of miles away.


Stress combined with homesickness usually spells disaster. I know that for sure. Today, I just went through what I would call my loneliest day I have had in a year. I felt so alone.


And yet, in my solitude I have found out how strong a person I actually am. Few people would survive what I am experiencing. Many would give up but I have not. I have made a decision and chosen to stick by that decision - no matter how tough it can be.


Yes, it's tough. Yes, it's hard. Yes, sometimes it sucks every ion of energy I have. But is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY. It is in the tough days that I realize how amazing I have been. God knows how many blocked roads I had to clear out but I still manage to continue my journey.


And that is what it is all about - continuing the journey. Life is not meant to be given up on. Life simply is.

    Erica, you're great.
