a little bit more of the iceberg

"After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love isn't leaning, but lending support. You begin to accept your defeats with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You decide to build your roads on today, for tomorrow's ground is too uncertain. You help someone plant a garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that God has give you the strength to endure and that you really do have worth."-unknown

if you didn't guess i got that one from my mom, well actually Mrs. Siemens, but whatever. these are things i'm learning as i'm "growing up". i think i can't avoid the maturing process, but i'm definetly gonna try my best to not become a boring serious person. no matter how old i get i'm still gonna watch cartoons and eat fruit loops. it's a decision we make not to focus on the crap and just to have fun, i'm gonna live in the moment and laugh as much as i can and cry when i need to.
