Word up to Life's ups and downs.

I went to Runyan Canyon today - the hard way (and suprisingly didn't pass out). I was in my head about a couple of things and had a bit of an emotional morning. Like most hiking trails there are mini mountains to climb,  then you hit the peak and you've got that lovely bit of flat land to catch your breath and enjoy an easy walk for awhile... then of course here comes another mountain. Every time I hike there, I am reminded of how much of a metaphor this is of life to me. Highs and lows. Ups and downs, whatever you wanna call it.  We are dreamers in LaLa land and with that dream comes some pretty freaking serious mountain climbing. 1000 more no's than yes's, working constantly and then NOTHING, putting in hard work and getting no recognition, waiting for your big break and then waiting for your big break and then waiting... But then all of a sudden something happens- inspiration, motivation, a job! It all comes together somehow and you're rocking that easy stride, "feeling good, feeling great", no one can touch you. ... Then shit- another mountain, wasn't I done??  Nope. I realize these mountains/hard times are always going to be there. But the thing is, it feels amazing once you pass it, you might be a little sweaty and stinky, but you did the damn thing. So thanks Runyan, for helping me keep perspective...
