When Life pitches a hard curveball your way,
And you miss batting it the first time,
Falling back on your butt from the sheer velocity of it.
(Strike 1!)
Do you stand up, dust yourself off and get into position again?
(Risk the possibility of Strike 2 & 3?? But you could also hit a homerun!)
Or is it easier to sit on the ground and sulk?
Waiting for someone to come help you up?

May I be the former.

Things are looking up ever so slightly. A little direction, a bit of focus. I just need to concentrate on finding out what I want. And I think I'm quite close to an answer.
