Six years ago, something happened. Something big, something ugly. A great big nasty scaly dragon. It bit hard. Really hard. Hard enough (metaphorically) to leave marks.<\/p>\nSix years ago, something happened. Something big, something ugly. A great big nasty scaly dragon. It bit hard. Really hard. Hard enough (metaphorically) to leave marks.<\/p>\n
And I severed its head and proudly displayed it on top of my fireplace. And dammit if a new one grew in it\u2019s place, and here I am, still cutting off heads six years later. Bloody hydras\u2026<\/p>\n
Mutter, mutter<\/em><\/p>\n But I\u2019m okay with that. I\u2019m okay with that because my sword is still sharp enough to win, to turn in the right direction.<\/p>\n The details don\u2019t matter. Everyone has their own battles, and the nature of the battle is not what is important here. What is important, is that no matter how dark and bloody those battles become, you can beat them. You can win against them. Everyone, every single person<\/em>, has the ability to change. The ability to look their fears in the eyes and say \u201cyou know what, to hell with this, I am not<\/em> going to live like this anymore.\u201d It won\u2019t make the dragons die necessarily, some things you fight with your whole life, but it will<\/em> put them under your control.<\/p>\n 6 years, and I have astoundingly few claw marks. Yes, I have battle scars\u2026but I am a warrior\u2026and every warrior has scars.<\/p>\n Whatever you are fighting my friends, whatever name your dragon bears\u2026remember this: your story? Is so, so<\/em> far from over.<\/p>\n Rage on my warriors, rage on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Six years ago, something happened. Something big, something ugly.
