I’ve noticed when running, that that hardest part is finishing that last bit to the end. The beginning of my run was easy. I was so full of energy and had pep in every step as I bounce along in my shoes. But by the end I am exhausted. Sweat is pouring down my face, my legs are going numb, and I question if it’s even possible to push through that last bit. I want to just quit. It’d be so easy, but I can’t allow myself that option. I have to continue. I made a commitment to finish what I started, and if I have the slightest ounce of energy in me to keep going then I will. Even though every step feels like it weighs more and more, I know how satisfying it will be to know I didn’t give up when I could. The finish line is so close I can almost see it, so as tedious as it may seem, I take a deep breath and push myself forward.
That’s basically how I feel at this point in the semester.
