My Favorite

This is something I wrote back years ago. It's one of my favorites.

Memory is what reminds us of the pain we felt the last time. Loneliness makes us try it again anyway. Relief comes when it didn't hurt as bad as it did the first time. Growth is what happens when you figure out why it didn't hurt as bad. Patience is when you find your confidence and worth. Love is when someone else discovers your worth.
