some people are like a dead leg--they prevent you from moving forward. they paralyze you. you might think you need that leg because well..everyone else has one but it's better to have no leg at all than a useless one that's just for show. i'm slowly learning that i was right in cutting out the dead limbs in my life. those people never appreciated me and they certainly never helped me grow. better to amputate the leg that holds you back and stroll on to a better life even if it's in a wheelchair.
