life: an epic tale, an epic story. here we are, straddled in infinite.

i’ll let you in on a little secret, forgive the spoiler:

good wins in the end.

but oh, every good story makes you uncertain at some point, doesn’t it? oh, in every good tale, there’s a period of immense darkness before the hero rises up and slays the beast, the tyrant. this is the pattern — it is a guarantee that isn’t guaranteed. it is the uncertain certainty.

enjoy the ride, all of it, yeah, even the fear — it’s part of it. it makes the relief, the victory, the sweetness at the end all the more palpable and immense.

yeah, good wins in the end — but dang, they had you for a second there, didn’t they?
