Stone
From the song "Weary" by Amel Larrieux
"This Woman is growing Weary/from having to be so strong/from having to pretend I'm made of stone/So I don't end up with no broken bones/I can't fight every battle Alone."
I realized yesterday that I've been pretending to be made of stone most of my whole life. Only my mother seemed to be able to make that stone crumble. I don't even know if that statement is fully true...what's a more accurate statement is either I was a stone or a waterfall, the latter being displayed more than the former. I needed to cover up the feelings inside. The stone (eventually) emerged more as I grew up; now that I recognize it I must stop it before it's too late. I don't want to be bitter in life. I want to fully experience Love & Life and all the things they offer. I
want(need) to experience pain so that I know the depths of joy.

the most human thing you can do is be vulnerable. it is ok to let that rough interior and exterior go. take it from me...the worse thing you can do is live a life pretending.
wow. that's deep mama. i'll comment more on this later ...
