Who am I to say what is what? Who am I to offer an unsolicited opinion? What makes me think I’m so smart I should tell you what you should do? Where do I get off telling you what nobody bothered to tell me? Who am I to say? I say because I wished I’d been warned about that dead end (when I didn’t see the signs) I wished I been told about that pile of crap (I didn’t see coming) I wish I had known (you couldn’t get there from here) I say because I believe suffering has a purpose I believe we learn from our pain I believe experience teaches us I believe we are meant to teach others I say knowing full well that my words won’t always be heard heeded or held on to I say because it is all about sharing I say because I’ll never know who needed to hear me today tomorrow or years from now |

Experience teaches us and we are meant to teach other. Wonderful thoughts. Thank you for your introspection. Good on ya girl... |
