<div class="bbWrapper">A quick vid to show you that, yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it doesn&#039;t seem like it right now. Tunnels are dark. They can be scary. What&#039;s on the other side is worth the journey through. Wanted to share for those dealing with anxiety or self-doubt about starting down this path. This is what my fastlane freedom looks like.

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The Girl You Ignored</b>..<br /> <br /> There&#039;s a girl you ignored.<br /> Never gave the time of day.<br /> When she came into your life..<br /> She hit you like a wave.<br /> <br /> You loved her like no other.<br /> Said you&#039;d never let her go.<br /> So why did you ignore her?<br /> Left her feeling so alone.<br /> <br /> She came to you excited.<br /> So much she had to say.<br /> Too focused on tomorrow..<br /> You missed out on today.<br /> <br /> Eyes locked in the distance.<br /> Your trance was all you saw.<br /> Her hopes and dreams before you.<br /> Trashed like a bendy straw.<br /> <br /> Then one day 10 years had passed.<br /> Everything had changed.<br /> The girl you ignored..<br /> Now she was estranged.<br /> <br /> You look into her eyes.<br /> See a person you don&#039;t know.<br /> And the girl, she stares back.<br /> Feeling so alone.<br /> <br /> Try to find the words to say.<br /> Recall the memories.<br /> But the only words you find are..<br /> <i>Please, please don&#039;t leave.</i><br /> <br /> Two worlds once in harmony.<br /> Now you stand apart.<br /> Ignored your little girl.<br /> Now she&#039;s ripping out your heart.<br /> <br /> You said you&#039;d always love her.<br /> You&#039;d never let her go.<br /> So why did you ignore her?<br /> <br /> Why?<br /> Why?<br /> <br /> <i>Now you are all alone.</i><br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> I was at the grocery store last night around 5. It was packed. People fighting for grab n&#039; go, rushing to make it home. Just off work. Another day lost.<br /> <br /> As I walked the aisles, I saw a man with a little girl by his side. She tugged at his arm. Not 4 or 5, she was closer to a teen.<br /> <br /> She had things to say.. about her grades, about school activities. There was this excitement in her voice, like she was so happy.<br /> <br /> And I watched her dad respond again and again. &quot;Mhmmm&quot; he&#039;d mumble, didn&#039;t even turn his head. Autopilot mind.. might as well be dead.<br /> <br /> My heart cracked a little at the sight. I don&#039;t know his situation, of course. But wanted to share thoughts on why it&#039;s worth it, even when you fear it&#039;s not.<br /> <br /> A shot at freedom, to live, and be present for those you love..<br /> <i>is worth everything you&#039;ve got.</i></div>
