4th Has More Worth
People can judge. People can gossip. People can say whatever the f**k they want to at this point. I remember when nothing mattered most about my actions other than what I felt. And so this time around, I'm going to do it the right way like the good old days. What happened to me?! Whatever happened to not caring what other people think?
You see, people come in and out of your life for a reason. Reasons you may not know right away but there's always some meaning behind it and eventually you'll figure "It" out and will be like, "OMG Duh!"
And you see...I finally get it. I get "It". Typical sharebare move. I'm slow at alot of things but I never would have thought I'd be slow at getting the simple lessons in life. Shoot, I've learned that not only do we learn from our mistakes but we also learn from the mistakes we never thought were mistakes to begin with. Crazy, right? I didn't realize "It" until the same thing happened over and over and over again. Aaah, the joys of constant repetition. Gotta love "It". I'm grateful for "It" !The most ironic thing about "It" is you gain sense through advice given by absolute strangers and simple acquaintenances. I wonder why that is? Is it because thinking from the outside in is better than thinking of it inside out? Perhaps it's because these people don't know me well enough to judge. That's got to be it, I think.
So, you see... I came to the realization that if the heart is still there, there is such a thing as second, third, and even fourth chances. Just like me, people make so many mistakes and can repeat them over and over and over again once they wise up and get "It". As long as the heart is still in it, that's all that counts.
And so, maybe for me, the fourth has more worth. "It" has more value and "It" has more appreciation for it's value...
Have you got "It" yet?

Part of the allure of "it" is that it's nebulous.
