no one stops telling stories. it's in the blood. storytellers who don't tell stories aren't anything. they're nothing at all.

there was a time when i wrote about how much i wanted, but not on borrowed time.

in hindsight, i can say this much.

borrowed time is better than no time at all.

***

I said,
"God, I hurt."
And God said,
"I know."
I said,
"God, I cry a lot."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you tears."
I said,
"God, I am so depressed."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said,
"God, life is so hard."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said,
"God, my loved one died."
And God said,
"So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said,
"I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said,
"God, but your loved one lives."
And God said,
"So does yours."
I said,
"God, where are they now?"
And God said,
"Mine is on My right. Yours is in the Light."
I said,
"God, it hurts."
And God said,
"I know."

some people, when you lose, you cry and you think it's the end of the world. and then after a while, you realize, hey, this loss wasn't so bad. in fact, i don't even care anymore.

some losses, though, will be with you forever. they will change you. you see things different. you yourself change. you either take less bullshit or become more forgiving.

personally, for me, i think it's the former.
