Give and Take - one phrase that I thought I understood but never did; only until now do I start to get an inkling.
For some things, you give more, some you give less - that is balance, but not exactly balanced. Well, what is balance? 50-50? Give ten gallon and expect ten back? Eat one chicken and rear another? Nope. Balance is about feeling contented with what you have and what you have sacrificed. Balance is about giving more in one area and less in another. Balance is about giving away some parts of your life for the better.
And that, may be the start of a new journey. This time, wider, deeper, and more encompassing.
And whatever it is, give it your all, and never look back. You tried your best.
