I chose a path that has proven to me to be full of slippery slopes and obstacles that seem unsurmountable. I see myself going into a descending spiral that I'm struggling to break free from; but the more I try, the more difficult it seems.

Maybe I should forget about the path and try a new one.

History proves that you will never get anywhere by giving up.

I could rest for a while to gather my strength and try again.

That's all we can do.

Try and try again, hopefully learning from our mistakes each time along the way.
