It destroyed you as a man.
It destroyed you as a person.
It destroyed you as a human being.
You lost your seat of power as a man…
You lost your will to overcome adversity…
You lost your desire to push through the obstacles in your way…
The pain conquered you, and it sunk deep… so deep that as you sit here, right now, reading this - you don’t even realize it’s there.
It’s a pain that is too difficult to tackle alone, because when you go deep, when you look it straight in the eye, it hurts.
It’s a pain that engulfs you, drowns you, and controls you - whether you are aware of it or not.
It’s a pain that you may not even realize exists, or a pain you have long since forgot about…
It’s like the hum of the refrigerator in the background.
It’s there, deep inside… and it affects EVERYTHING YOU DO.
