This road is hard. You can lie to yourself when you are isolated in a bubble and pretend that it's easy. That you won't fall. That the road is a clean, straight-shot if you just do this, this and that. If you just avoid temptation completely. But you can't avoid it forever. You can't always avoid those dark backroads. You will find yourself on them. And when you do, you will make a choice. You won't always choose the right thing. Most of the time, you will be strong. But sometimes... Sometimes you will fall. But it's how you pick yourself up again that matters. Don't allow yourself to spin out of control or lie down, defeated. The road is hard so you can get better each time you fall--so you can grow and build character. Just like muscles, you train them by challenging them and putting stress on them, over and over. Breaking them down to build them up. Don't fret, little humans. This is why we're here.
