It never gets easier. You just get stronger.

You've been through this a thousand times now and everytime you seem to be caught by surprise again. So I will spell it out for you now. So that you never forget it:

It is like this. You are like this. No matter how many miles you run, how many pages you write, how many days you cross off. And this is your life. This is your very own personal challenge. It will be hard. And you will push on. Then it will get harder and you will struggle. It will get harder and you will grow tired and exhausted and you will fall. Time and again. Then you will get up. And maybe for some time it will be easy, even good. You will come out taller and stronger and up to life's hurdles. And then it will get harder. You will push on and refuse to fall again. You will push longer. But it will get harder and at some point you will grow tired and you will forget that you've been at this point before and you will fall. Again. Again and again. Then you will get up. This is your life. This is what you set out for when you decided to take up this challenge. It never gets easier. You level up.
