Lost In the Woods

When you're lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you've just wandered off the path, that you'll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are... It's time to admit that you have strayed so far off the path that you don't even know from which direction the sun rises anymore. If & when you find your way back you will have to accept that many friends and family lost faith and gave up their search for whatever reasons. The ones that didn't if any will always hold a special place in your heart. Do not hate the ones who left you in the cold though, remember they had to grieve for the person they didn't believe you could be.
