I started in the academy on Thursday, July 12th. The gulf between the idea and the action was too large for an unassisted jump with an encumbrance penalty.
Rolled a critical fail on engaging support systems.
The truth is, if the mind is not ready. Is not REALLY ready, then the encumbrance will grow with each new pair of underpants collected.
This time, I learned that I can't do it in isolation, and that I MUST get the mind and spirit ready before anything else can follow.
I may be back here again. Each time, I'll try to add an item to the list.
Life before Death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before Destination.
Hard earned, hard fought, and harder won.
Grows river-long before it's done
Each step, each breath, each hill traversed
Must be purchased from the first
to the final leap and land
taking vic'try in the hand
The lessons learned here stand declared
For next respawn to be prepared.
The List of Respawn Knowledge
1. Do it because you WANT it, for yourself, and nobody else.
2. It's dangerous to go alone. Bring allies.
