After a While...
by Veronica Shoftsall:
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. .. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to leave you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure; You really are strong, you really do have worth. And you learn, and you learn With every goodbye you learn. |

Amen brother. The one thing I do enjoy with being older is the wisdom that comes with it. Nobody can teach it to you, I tried to learn it when I was young. Nothing can substitute for life experience and having a few failures along the way.

I'd like to say I woulda written down every letter with absolute purpose. But at 18, we all know everything about everything, right? Life dgaf about your plans or what you think is fair or right. I'll take a guess here and say we've all learned some damn hard lessons. |

Damn Spence. I see there are two of us who think the bolded. I never have been able to listen to that fukk Dylan sing. I've heard cats in heat sound better. And Jeff Lynne, I suppose, just looks at his fat bank account and sleeps well at night.

When I was in my early 20s I had an old fella I used to talk to at the bus stop. I'll never forget the day he told me, "son, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans". Scott

I've never talked about it here, but I always thought I was the only one who had to ride the bus back in the day.

Life had already handed me a few shit sammiches just before that which were totally beyond my control. 3 years later I bought my first home and 2 years after that, my first Vette. Never looked back. There are few greater freedoms than having been hungry and later realizing you've learned to take care of yourself and aren't afraid when life takes a wrong turn, and in a hurry. Scott Music has always helped pull me through.
