Imagine What I Could Do With This From Here

"IMAGINE WHAT I COULD DO WITH THIS FROM HERE" when I first met her I told her there would be a lot she would learn from me. she looked at me with contempt and asked: “will I be able to teach you anything? you think you’ll learn anything from me?” my reply was simple: “well I’ll teach you everything you haven’t learned, everything you missed. I’m sure throughout our relationship, I’ll look to you for your help.” that was the end of our conversation. it had to be. we had a vibrant relationship ahead. there were a thousand lessons she got from me and even now she is still learning. even if she won’t admit it. as she learns more, putting it into play, our bump in the road is diminishing and soon, the elephants will dance and celebrate our love. but of those thousand lessons she managed to give me one. it was an important one. I used to ask myself, what could this woman teach me? I wanted to know. if there had been any way to find out sooner, I would have given away my smokes and beer just to find out. alas I did and it was a lesson so great, I now live in it. she taught me how to love without fear. although my lessons are now embedded into her brain, hers was one that I learned as I was giving her hers. as I taught, she taught. as she learned, I learned. I used to ask myself, what could this woman teach me? I remember so many times I wanted to give up but I loved her. to quote Sean Maguire: “you’ll have bad times but they’ll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to.” I woke up. I saw what I would’ve missed had I given up. the greatest lesson that pulled me from the chains. Sean Maguire: “you can know everything in the world sport but the only way you’re finding out that one is by giving it a shot.” she asked me once: “will I be able to teach you anything? you think you’ll learn anything from me?” my reply: “you taught me how to live. you taught me how to love. you made me want to see tomorrow.” you were the best shot I ever took.
