predator vs hunter

having experiences is called living. 

sharing experiences is called loving. 

let yourself enjoy both. 

like it or not, i was already learning that in the worst and darkest time,
i would find specks of light, moments of joy.
what i didn't want to learn was the other, harsher lesson -
that in life's brightest moments there would also be unbearable pain.

Beattie, M.

"often, change doesn't come trumpeting itself in. it comes in quiet, barely noticed ways. No bolts of lightning and grand entrances here. Just a subtle relaxation into the body. a tiny shift towards where you are. An old belief, an outdated story, seen for what it is. a new path emerging in the darkness. a vague, unspeakable hope dawning in the first light of the day you imagined would never come. everything the same, everything different, everything always resting in motion, and the mysteries of change forever unresolved."

Foster, J.

you have to break it in order to see all the tiny pieces.
