I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
-Maya Angelou
I don't remember when the last time I posted on here was. It's been years, I'm sure. I deleted my Myspace account without actually remembering that I blogged on there for so long, and now that time in my life is lost forever. I never read them again, and I doubt I ever would have, but it is a sadness I'm having a difficult time overcome. That's part of the reason why I came back.
The other reason is that I need a place to put my thoughts, my words, my emotions, my everything. I am so split these days between myself and so many other people that I have no place for myself anymore. No place to call my own, no time to feel alone and good at the same time, nowhere to go, no one to see. If I have to live in my mind, I might as well make a back-up copy on the internet just in case I ever lose it.
And with that, my return. I guess. I'll get back into the swing of this sooner or later.
