About Me

Myspace Layout Stealer After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defects with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of a man or a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain, for plans and futures have a way of falling down mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you ask too much; so you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth. And you learn, and you learn, with every goodbye you learn.....
