I discovered this particular piece many years back, and till today, I still find it meaningful.
**
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
GIVEN YOU THE STRENGTH
TO ENDURE AND THAT YOU
REALLY DO HAVE WORTH.

Maybe it’s because I’m feeling melancholy now, that I am writing all these down. Or maybe. Just maybe. It is due to the FIVE ASSIGNMENTS that are due in just a few days’ time which I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what how to even start, much less continue and end!!!! God help me…!!!
**
In any case, looking at the note above, in my present frame of mind, I’d rather feel the opposite – I need support, I wanna throw a tantrum, I want flowers (!!), and I really, really, REALLY want this writer’s Block to get UNBLOCKED now!!!! I still have FIVE more papers to do… Aaarrrggghhh!!!
