how to build a brick house



one brick at a time.


i was talking to
somebody really smart,
can't remember who,
(my brother, my sister, or my dad)


i said something like,
"it's really hard to get up,
when somebody keeps throwing fucking BRICKS at you!"

to which, said smart family member replied,


"be grateful for those bricks ~
don't throw them back!
and
one by one,

build yourself a beautiful house!"

LOVE IT!!!

so true.

and the more i think about it . . .

i realized something!
at the end of the day,

I will have a GORGEOUS brick house ~


and the person who threw them at me,

will have NOTHING!

isn't Karma a bitch?
he he he!


you see,
when we are filled with anger & hate
when we PURPOSELY SET OUT to harm another~
we are the one who REALLY gets damaged.

I'm glad I'm the one
picking up the bricks

here.

That's a good lesson... nobody can make us feel inferior unless we let them right? Yeah, I'm not going to let them

e- build girl, build. This is sometimes so hard to do, but i agree, taking the high road, is a much better option. And the big bad wolf has none.....
