beautifully anonymous

i only wish i could take the credit for this beautiful and motivating piece of work:
after awhile you learn the sublte difference between holding a hand and changing a soul,
and you learn that love doesn't mean learning and company doesn't mean security,
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child,
and you learn to build all of your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans.
after awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
so plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
and learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong
and that you really do have worth.

[yoUr bLiSS]

why not elaborate? i'd love to hear it...

 

[JustChad]

It's just perfect. I've read it before, seen it around the web, and never really taken notice... However, my life has been changing rapidly in the past months... spiralling to a single central realization... The realization that my happiness is never going to be achieved through financial success, emotional co-dependance, possessions, friendships, achievements, anything... True happiness starts in me... And grows until it's so big that someone will have to come along to help me enjoy it. . . Until then... it's MINE ALLL MIIINNEEE!!!

[fizzygirl]

oh wow..i needed this today..and let me elaborate

i think this is perfect for us *single* people who keep watching our friends settle down and get married, and keep having to fend off questions regarding those things. those of us who plan to buy our own first house, build our own career and not look for just *anyone* to fill the gap
