I admit, I've come a long way in my maturity through my journey. One of the proudest elements that I've evolved from has been my anger. I carried a scary rage for anger for a long time.

While on my run last night I wondered what my obituary would say. I thought about asking someone to write one for me to see. Immediately I thought that would be pretty egotistical.
