it is easier to destroy life
than to create it...
so be careful!..
when you happen to mess it up
it is hard to gather things
and mold it again.
so be careful..
bad situation.
it is hard to get people's support
and understanding
and understanding
to start all over again.
so be careful...
the worst case is
when you start hating yourself.
and feeling like
you want to self-destruct...
so be careful!..

Also a lot of self-recognition for me in this. I wish it were easier to be careful! *smile* However, a very nice piece of writing!
ReplyDeleteParengJJ,
ReplyDeleteTrue enough! Good thoughts and good advice! We may not be able to be an angel for 100% of the time. But it would be ideal to be aware and accomplish some!
