Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
[The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran]
But now I fin'lly knew
I had to let it go
To make way for a brighter tomorrow
Since I know that I never will forget
The memories that made my yesterday
I will try not to let it interfere
The choices I will make along the way
'Cause I'm not livin' in a world of fantasy
I'm here now in the world of reality
So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind
And fin'lly I've made up my mind
So let the mem'ries stay away
And think about today
I'm leavin' yesterday behind
'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more
The way I did before
Where do I start... Something quite irritating happened earlier before New Year's Eve.. . but those little bitter - spices of life would never replace the happiness and love i felt all throughout 2008...... more
