Every step, there is a chance to falter. To lose your balance, to fall down.
Every step, there is a chance to move forward, to regain strength, to grow.
To falter is not to fail, to falter is to see an opportunity to place your feet squarely on the ground, look fear in the face, and say, “I see you.”
