Rebirth

Picture a social misfit who has stumbled through life making every conceivable mistake along the way. Despite his best efforts to find stability and understanding in a world that seemed to elude him he remained stubborn and uncompromising clinging to a deep-seated attitude of non-conformity. His headspace had no room for compromise and as a result he had never experienced a meaningful relationship of any kind. But unbeknownst to him there were people working on him - not professionals religious figures or members of a sect - but ordinary individuals with caring hearts who must have taken pity on him. They never gave up on him even when he gave them no reason to continue. <br>These compassionate souls never sought gratitude or anything in return and the dropout never offered it. Yet he kept returning to them knowing deep down that they were his only chance at redemption. He understood that they were always a few steps ahead and he was constantly playing catch-up. Just when he thought he had nearly caught up they would present him with a new challenge leaving him frustrated at times. But it was a game he grew to love and sometimes when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror he found himself smiling - a rare occurrence in his life. He knew that these people were catalysts for the necessary changes within him and he embraced the journey learning about love and the warm feeling it ignited in his chest.
