"I did not fail. I just discovered 10,000 paths that will not work."
(Thomas Edison)
I had to tread these paths until I found myself. Today is a special day and a lot of reflection for me. My 30th birthday, an important brand that has a special meaning. In those 3 decades of life, I believe I had to discover not 10,000, but 30,000 paths that did not work.
Wrong choices, wrong people, wrong feelings. I lost count of how many times I was wrong, I got upset, I got hurt, I got angry. I paid the price for my wrong choices, the wrong paths I went through, the wrong people I knew and got involved.
"Any of us ever loved wrong, already hated wrong."
(Nelson Rodrigues)
But, I did not fail. I won, I matured, I survived. Everything had to happen, everything was necessary to have happened. People came, people were gone from my life. Some specials and I wanted to have kept close by today, but I could not. Others not so much and not even that.
Today is a day for me to celebrate, laugh and cry around those who love me. They are few, but for me at this point in my life bound not by quantity but quality. With these I want to be able to share this moment and this happiness.
God Bless Us!
