I've changed. I've been burned, melted, and formed anew. Despite that, I'm still me. I'm still who I was before, just different. .... and that process is still happening. I'm still charging though challenges and struggles, going back into the crucible, and coming out on the other side new.

It's a constant process that won't end until I take my last... which would be a bad thing if it didn't get a little easier every time, and if I wasn't so impressed with myself every time I persevered.
