.....but I'll give it a shot.

There are many things one can describe in life, but many times we come across some instance where words are not enough, or maybe too much. It's really hard to tell in those times. Sometimes we'll simply attempt an analogy, hoping that someone will understand and even if they don't, that's ok. Sometimes...sometimes, it's just enough to form words, to get them out of that place inside you. Whether others really understand you or not. But if you're really lucky, someone will understand. Maybe those words you let out one day will reach out to another at some point in time and help them through those times in their life where it's hard to find the words.

I've had some of these times. In a way, I've become very good at being in those times.

Some people say your life is defined by what you do in those hard times. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with that, however, I'd like to tweak it.

I'd say that your character is defined by what you do in hard times, your life is defined by how you rise above the hard times.

I think my character is pretty well developed by now..... but I'd like to work on that rising above part now.
