After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaving, and that company doesn’t mean serenity. You begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, that presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept defeats with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, with your head up and your eyes open. 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 gardens, and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, that you really do have worth, and you learn, and you learn. — Veronica Shoffstall.
