The Drawback

 Moving forward isn't always easy. What I've had to come to terms with is the fact that sometimes to go forward you must go backwards. Like an arrow drawn back with such incredible force, only to soar in the opposite direction, away from what once held it back. A bit dramatic, but it rings true. A path is rarely straightforward. I must have the courage to allow myself to get lost, wander, and even retread the same steps. I was a track runner so it should have been much clearer to me but these things, like everything else, takes time to grasp. I am learning to see the beauty of circles before I break away.
